wanting to lower my 71 C10 with rear leafs

[funkytechmonkey]

Hey guys... I am working on my new project, a 1971 GMC C10 with rear leaf springs. (I do have disc breaks)

The look I am going for is a slammed hot rod look. Altho I do not want to lay frame. That is one thing I really want to stay away from. I would love to bag it bc I hear that is the best ride for a lowered truck and being able to control my ride heigth is pretty cool.

I dont HAVE to bag it but it would be nice. I am working on this project very slowly and I have small budgets I have to meet every month to keep the wife happy. So where can I start? I love the look of the CCP tubes and plan on going with all those conponent.

I love the stance of this truck.... So id like something like this.

Good Morning,

The truck pictured looks to be about a 3/5 drop. It is hard to tell with the wheels but looks like that. This can be accomplished and ride nice with a spindle and coil drop. Being a 5" in the back you would have to run our bolt in C-notch kit as well. We have a nice kit to do this! Take a look at the link:
