Part 10: In this video, the 1991 Chevy OBS project truck gets a 4" rear suspension drop as well as new bushings. Before you jump into a project of this magnitude, make sure you have the space and tools to get the job done. Air tools, chisels, floor jacks, hydraulic press all make the job easier but are not always required. Some can be rented others are a good investment.There are some tips for making the job easier (quicker).

Excellent video, about to do the same drop, never seen the shock mounts, going to grab those and a new pump and sender.

@laurencevillegarage 7 месяцев назад

Thank you. Although they are more $ than a typical shock extender, I liked it better because it did not hang down. Good luck!

@johnmaas373 5 месяцев назад

Did those shock extenders interfere with anything after you put the box back on?

@laurencevillegarage 5 месяцев назад

@@johnmaas373No clearance issues. Fit perfectly.

Order some of those shock extenders. Great video. Im sure these worked better with the sway bar.

@laurencevillegarage 2 года назад

Yes, I've never cared for the lower extenders, they seemed like a necessary evil. The sway bar will hang down a bit, but not too low. I'm having some parts made....it may take me a while to get it all together. I'll be starting on the front end of the truck shortly.

Did you use the oem length shocks? If not which ones did you use?

@laurencevillegarage 2 года назад

Yes, I did.

@frankdatank7751 Год назад

Did you have to adjust the pinion angle? Thanks!!!

@laurencevillegarage Год назад

With a 4" rear and 2" front, no, the angle is still ok. If you do a 6" rear...yes.

@seventysanchez8659 Год назад

I'm bit confused, how was it lowered?? Through the shock extenders or did he get different leaf springs?

@laurencevillegarage Год назад

I used 2” shackles and 2” drop hangers for the 4” drop. I used the shock extenders to use shocks I already had and not use a drop shock and to improve the shock angle from stock.

@seventysanchez8659 Год назад

@@laurencevillegarage ohhh i see, thanks very much Mister. I just bought a 94 that was "lowered" turns out the leaf spring hangers were torn, so I'm gonna get those replaced.

@fernandomora1324 Год назад

How dose this ride ..? Dose it bottom out on bump stops..? I noticed u did not c notch the frame which I don't wanna do to mine either

@laurencevillegarage Год назад

No, it does not bottom out, but, it will affect your load capacity. You can’t carry a load of tile or a pallet of grass. The quality of ride will depend a lot on the type and quality of shocks you use. Get a good shock and you will be good.

@@laurencevillegarage cool thanks and yeah I don't load nothing heavy on this truck it's a cruiser..👍 I like your build good job man

@karnellhall7082 9 месяцев назад

How did you route the emergency brake?

@laurencevillegarage 9 месяцев назад

I routed the emergency brake cable over the top of the driveshaft/differential and secured it in place with the factory bracket. The bracket is turned in a different position (than stock) to the top of the rear differential just above the pinion/rear driveshaft mounting pad.

@justin-kl6in 2 года назад

hey did you buy a kit for all this?

@laurencevillegarage 2 года назад

No, I did not. I bought the components separately. The truck already had the rear shackles, I already had the shocks. I have never seen the upper shock extenders that I found in a kit. I have seen shackles and hangers in a kit on eBay for $106..

@@gerardolopez5875 I will be upgrading the master cylinder to a ‘01 Suburban style. On the ‘95, I did that and a proportioning valve was not needed. Good eye!

@@laurencevillegarage @ its that 02 style master cylinder, has more power??? I got 1 from 03 tahoe, would it fitt into 84c10??

@laurencevillegarage 2 года назад

@@gerardolopez5875 I’m not sure about it fitting the C10, I’ve never tried that. Not more power, but that m/c is made for f/r disc brakes and the reservoirs are more equal in size/fluid displacement. The one on the c1500 has 2 different size reservoirs, that is why you would need a proportioning valve to control the fluid/pressure to the rear brakes to keep them from locking up prematurely.
