Suspension question...

Thinking about a 2/4 drop in my 96 C1500...anybody know how much cargo weight capacity ya lose doing this??? Also is it better to use hangers/shackles, or to replace the leaf springs with 4" drop leafs???

you will not lose anything except that nasty hieght. if i were you i'd do leafs because its easy... if im not mistaken you will have to remove the gas tank to do hangers.... i have a 90 c-1500 and i droped it 5/7 and i still haul a lot of stuff. and for the front do spindles not springs, if you want to do it right

Yeah was already planning on spindles, and new shocks all around

dont do toxic shocks.... they are the worst............ and now that i think about it.... you have to remove the gas tank for leaf springs too... sorry dude. if you went with a 4/6 drop it would be much cooler and no droping gas tanks.

You really shouldn't have that much of a problem. To be safe you could always install a c-notch for extra clearance. But you can run without it for a while and see how it is.

you dont need a c-notch for a 4" drop
