[ozc20]

hey guys sean from australia here..
i have an 86 long bed c20 8 stud and want to get her low to the ground..i can’t buy much here for it so most i get is from the US.
the rear seems straight forward is the front am struggling with..i seem to be able to get spindles for clip on calipers but not bolt on.can i change my set up to clip on calipers?? is that possible/easy to do?? the truck runs dropped springs and dropped controls arms but just want that extra 3 inch drop so i can tuck some wheel. any help will be appreciated

Don't know if this will help you mate, or if you will even see it, but I ran across a link in another thread that addresses the issue. It gives you the choice between bolt on or clip on in the fine tuning part of ordering. Hope it helps Sean.

Both offer a bolt on caliper option.

I used the Switched Suspension kit on my C30. I did not care for the customer support (it is a 3rd party) and I did receive the wrong flip kit even though they "postponed" my shipment due to them wanting to verify the rear end I had even though I filled out everything on the site like they want me to.

With that said things you will need to consider is what wheels and tires are you going to run? You may run into clearance issues with your factory A arms. I wasn't too sure if you said you had already installed lower drop springs and drop control arms but if you have already done that and want to include drop spindles you will be with in an inch from the cross member contacting the ground. With my 6/8 drop and can barley put my fist (5ish") under it and with the roads around my area that is going to be fun.
