Great memories your giving your boy. Best memories of my life are working on stuff with my Dad.
Pro trick: you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
Lowering a truck in flip flops, you are the man!!!
N THE ONLY WAY MY FRIEND 😁😁😁😁
I just got thous hangers to use on my c20. I’m sure I’m gunna have to drill
Put he holes aswell. Good video sir!
OSHA requires you to wear boots that protect your feet during the install process.....2nd build use a drill to take out those rivets and since you have drill in hand.......its the paint that stops bolt going thru , well some of the improper fit... thanks for video sir...1 more thing Use oil on those holes please...it helps it cut extremely well
i'm starting my 83 c10 rear drop next week ,two thumbs up brother
Sweet, excellent decision. Thanks!
Great job! That was very informative for a guy like me. 👍👍 gonna start on my 71 Chevy C10.
Great Job on the Vid bud , I respect that you point out all the flaws during the project god bless
Hey thanks! I try to do the best I can with these
Step bits are great for thinner metals. But not suited for thicker steel, like the spring hanger. Each step is not tall enough to give a straight clean hole.
Yea I noticed that, kinda had to fix the hole, wasn't bad tho. Ironic you should mention that bit, i needed it for some thin metal today but it seems to be missing. But thanks for the tip, always appreciated
Nice informative video. Enjoyed watching 👍
Thanks! Glad you liked it
One of those $10 harbor freight hammers would have made that job a whole lot easier I believe
Probably alot of tools would have made it easier, but I can't complain too much about how it went using mostly what I already had on hand
when we getting the front great video 👍👍👍
Thanks! Front will come eventually. I spend too much time at my actual job. Bit of a bummer really. I have been slowly working tho
Nice video
Thanks
What’s the kit called I have an 84 c10 that I’m looking into doing that as well, thanks god bless
Nice video! At the 9:10 mark of this video, the shackle is above your frame. Did it drop below the frame once you put the tires on and everything? Did you have to cut the cross support of your bed any? I've only removed my bed so far, but it looks like the shackle is going to be too tall for my frame. I have a '79 stepside.
Thanks! It actually sits higher than the stock shackle. Raising the spring lowers the frame. I haven't tried fitting the bed yet, that probably won't happen for a long time, but I've seen in other videos that cutting a piece out of the bed cross support on each side above the shackle may be necessary.
I love your videos! Please keep doing them!
Thanks Dan! I plan to as often as I can. Now if I can just get alot more people watching and loving them
Can i just flip my springs and mounting brackets? im goin to cut the floor out of the bed anyway
Excellent video! Exactly what I needed! How much did you lower the front? Do you have any after pics?
Thanks! Front is going to be 2 inches, should level the truck. That's still in slow progress. No other pics right now
Shot in the dark, but anybody have pinion angle issues after doing a kit like this? I’ve done rear shackles and about to do the front leaf spring hanger
I’m about to do a flip kit and was a bit scared to do it myself but after watching your video I think me and a friend could knock it out....quick question, how heavy was the bed ?
Just make sure to find this kit. I got it on ebay, MaxTrac. I believe a flip kit involves some frame cutting which I'm not comfortable with. This is just a lowering kit. I'm not sure on bed weight, but I lifted it by hand with 2 other guys.
Great video I’m working on a 81 c10. I have a question… How many inches in total did you drop it from the back?
Thanks. This kit is supposed to give it a 4 inch drop in rear and 2 in front. Like an idiot I didn't think to measure ride height before starting, so I won't see how it truly looks until the bed is back on
Hi Man how much for kit?
Do the new mounting points you installed interfere with the box? I notice they sit higher then the frame.
I'm not sure yet. The bed is still off, may not go back on for quite some time. I have seen videos for 90s Chevy trucks, and the lowering shackles do interfere with a cross brace that has to be cut to clear it, not sure about 70s trucks tho
Google will give you the proper torque specs for the size and grade of the bolts you used.
Do you know by chance how many inches this dropped it? I’m thinking if I’m going to have to do this and the flip kit or if just this will be low enough
The kit I bought is supposed to drop it 4 in the rear and 2 in the front, which should also make it level. Of course I was dumb and didn't measure the ride height before doing the swap
Did you have to add shims on rear after that to keep vibrations down after 50mph
I haven't shimmed anything. And I still don't know how it drives, it's still out of commission
Why not a flip kit instead?
Don't have the equipment, space or know-how, or the desire to go that low
Need man hammer ⚒ sledgehammer 😊
Where can i get those OSHA approved sandals?
I only buy the very best... walmart
Mi amigo si yo compro ese kit no necesito los spindle
Whered you get the new shackles
They're part of a Max Trac drop kit I bought on Ebay
Did you have to c notch the frame?
Nope, this is just a bolt on kit
