Welcome back to the KULLYCO RU-vid Channel. Where we do all things fabrication, engineering, and design.
In this video we fully dive into my shop truck project. A 1985 C10 Chevy Silverado, 1500. I show you guys start to finish, the processes and products that went into lowering the truck in the front and rear.
In the front we did a total drop of 5.5". We achieved that by using CPP modular drop spindles, that gave us 2.5" of drop. Then we coupled that with a 3" drop spring to give us a total of 5.5". Along with that we decided to do new calipers, rotors, ball joints, and steering components in the front.
In the rear of the truck we did a total drop of 7". We achieved that using a flip kit with an additional spacer block. The flip kit of course- flips the rear end on top of the leaf springs, then the additional block spaces the rear end up one more inch to get a total of 7". We also installed a c notch kit in the rear, which you will see in the video. We used a bolt in kit, that will allow the rear end to travel another few inches up into the frame rail. Its a must when doing one of these projects- to get that rear end travel back.
Lastly, we finished the project off with a new set of wheels and tires. I went with 20" Matte Gray, Halibrand Sprint wheels all the way around, wrapped in Toyo tires. The front wheels are 20" by 8.5" and the rear wheels are 20" by 10".
I hope you guys enjoyed this video and where able to get value out of it. I know I learned a lot on this project and I am quite happy with the end result! Pretty tough to beat a square body shop truck:)
