  • In this video Chinstrap and I show you how we lowered his 1981 C10 roughly 5 inches in the front and 7 in the back for only $120 and some simple hand tools. Ok, maybe the torch isn't a basic hand tool. The only thing we bought to lower it was a rear axle flip kit and shock extensions off eBay. In the front we cut 2 coils and the bump stops off using a torch. The pickup still needs shocks and some exhaust work but it has been aligned and drives very well.

    Chinstrap is a braver man than I in crocs. I couldn't... But awesome video. And a good one too, just elbow grease and hard work. Well done.

    I have a 79 K5 blazer and I want to attempt to do this. Do you think I should c-notch? I have a general idea but I’m not sure if I want to do it. It’s my daily so I don’t want to lose to much comfort, like there is any anyways, or risk anything.

    • @MortskeRepair
      @MortskeRepair  3 роки тому +1

      We didn't notch this one and he's only touched the frame to it a couple times and that's been hitting big bumps or hauling loads with it. He's been using it as his daily all summer with no issues. You can always add a notch later. And you're not going to be hauling much in a Blazer I presume. Thanks for watching!

      @@JulianFRosales Anytime!! These are just personal preference. We debated between a 245 and 255 on the front but the 275 is my go to on the rear. You could do a 295/50 as well but the sidewall isn't as appealing to me on those. If you need any more info give us a shout @ mortskerepair@gmail.com
