In regards to the front drop, what’s in their kit for the front? Spindles n springs I guess? Any more than a 3” drop via drop spindles and your outer edge of your lower A arms will catch on a 15” wheel, I wanna say I’ve read that you’re gonna have to go up to like a 17” or maybe 18” wheel for clearance. You can grind on that outer edge/lip on the A arm for clearance but I’d just go with a tubular or dropped control arm. 6in drop, with that wheel n tire set up gonna be hell on them ball joints lol…
As for backspacing, I got 10” wheel with 295’s, and a 4 or 4.5 backspace (i forgot what Detroit steel made
For me) and I can barely fit a finger between the wheel arch and the tire.

Was bout to get some **** from Switch for my 73 3/4ton but read the fine print n saw that the same drop kits won’t work with a cab chassis truck ‍… oh well lol

I did a 6/8 drop on my C30 CC with the SS kit and it went alright minus the time it took and some miscommunications but I could not use my factor 16's with the stock control arms (wasn't going to cut them). I had 20's that were going on it so I wasn't worried but then I ran into them hitting my finders and cab so ordered a set of tubular control arms anyways.
