What is stock ride height?

[78C10BigTen]

So the more i look at my truck the higher the back end looks. Its only 2wd but does this look stock or does anyone think my front coils are saggy? Also will 3/4 ton coils fit and how will it ride?

It's a big ten. They had heavier rear springs = higher rear end.

True...

I put front springs for a big block in my 84 GMC, to level it.

How does it ride? Is it harder?

I sold it in 91, but it rode fine. Didn't roll over in corners as much either.

Like a cat in heat..... but better then that ***** Cali lean **** no sense having your truck look like a dog with worms.

My '84 is stock suspension and sits about like that. Although there's about 200 extra pounds up front compared to stock.

As WFO suggested, this is the hot setup. There should be two versions, one with AC and without... it just handles and steers better with the front end picked up and don't worry about the spring rate being too stiff, it's perfect.

My dog was ac, when engine blew up ac never got put on the new one.one day ill rebuild her numbers matching 350 and shove it back in. With that "rake" im tempted to put a set of 50s on 10" rims out back

I ran air bags in the front of a couple of my 2WD trucks to fit 33" tall tires. I ran the fill tubes through the upper holes in the front license plate. Gave me about 2" of lift. I ended up putting a 2" block in back to keep the natural rake. No ride issues, but my trucks had 454's with A/C. Here's the link:

Yes.

 

[78C10BigTen]

Yes.

I just found that kit on autozone. For $100. But i think if im gunna separate the A frames ill just change coils lol then get crazy and add tubular A frames and new bushings and joints lol

that's going to get expensive for a daily driver.
