You're the guy that bought those Belltech lowering coils from me aren't you? I figured you'd have that truck lowered by now. Did you ever buy anything for the rear?

^ yep. i thought i was gonna be able to lower it by now, but school kept getting in the way. i was able to find some Belltech shackles and hangars for a 2/4 drop with the coils, just need to get shocks and bump stops and i should be good to go. my next decision will be whether to do it myself or pay a shop to do it. i know the shop would be more $, but right now the truck is my daily and i can't really have it down for a long time, plus i don't have all the tools to do it up where i'm at now. other than a spring clamp for taking the front coils off, i guess the only other hard part is cutting the hangars off the rear. how difficult is it to do by yourself?

I used lowering leafs in the rear. The hangers would be a little tougher because of the gas tank in the way. I didn't have too much issue with the coils. Getting the spindle separated from the lower control arm can be an issue. I swapped the coils out by myself on a Friday evening after work. A friend helped me do the rear in a couple hours. You could get by driving it for a little bit without an alignment if you had to.

If I can stop spending money on other **** and focus on the Colorado for a minute it should be running with this setup soon enough.

I should have taken a pic of my truck last night.. wife wanted to go for a drive which I thought meant paved roads and sight seeing..

no it means lets find the loneliest back road covered in mud and snow and see what's at the end. Surprised it did as well as it did with street tires on it...

I don't know, yours looks pretty nice in yellow.

Is that a 4/6? I've got the brackets for a flip kit on the way. I still need to order spindles and springs. I need to get it plated first though and I just ordered all new belts, hoses, and stuff to do a tune up through rock auto. I was considering yanking the I6 for a 350 right away but decided to just clean it up and cruise it for the summer instead.

Yellow is so bright tho. Something about an ugly color light pale tan or **** brown that I am attracted to lately lol. I bought this truck like this other then I changed out the roll pan for the stock bumper. Not sure what the drop is, I have never static'd a c10 myself. guessing 4/6. Would like to 5/7 it, but then need to notch. Also stock control arms hang so low. Its kind of nice to have one truck I can drive with confidence that I will not smack the ground! Never had that feeling before lol. My bagged one I am always guessing, and the crew cab scraps alot.

Again its sure nice to have a solid reliable good looking driver. I would take it on a road trip with no worries other then the heavy pedal and no cruise. Oh and reving at 3000 doing 65mph kinda sucks haha.
