This is work! Lol I suppose I could crawl under the C20 we have out back to measure and compare to one of our several C10 LCAs. But it's hot...
Ha! While most of us are just wasting company time, you can totally justify your on the clock participation as Marketing/business development!

No. The springs will eventually settle. Idk how much height you will loose.

And yes. You will need to take some shims out of the upper. Take the truck to a alignment shop. They will get it allighed for steering and with that.
