How to lower you GM squarebody on a budget!!! C10 Slammed on the cheap!

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.

[@MortskeRepair]

He's very fashionable!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

I never could bring myself to wear Crocs. I'm pretty sure this is the video that brought me to your channel!

[@MortskeRepair]

Same here! Ol Chin, he's special tho! You ain't rockin, until you're crocin and sockin!

[@David-82]

17minute slam your C10 video... Really would have thought more views then 10k. To hell with the algorithm I still enjoyed it.

[@ryanhawkins1235]

What no clip from Titanic after making the paint me like one of your French Girls to duff. LOL

[@zackschenk]

How much long was the shaft when you used the center hole?

[@looneyluke797]

Commenting my comment in the comments! This video is nearly old enough for a sammich

[@MortskeRepair]

Much appreciated

[@ronthewelder7305]

I have a flip kit for my 82 and shackle replacement for rear and lowering springs for the front along with a 454 to add weight. What else do you think id need?

[@MortskeRepair]

Sounds nothing like the formula used in this video

[@ksduathlete]

Looks great. I detect a Wisconsin accent.

[@peytonreed8145]

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]

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!

[@ysfdd3805]

Did you remove the springs to cut them?

[@MortskeRepair]

Yes

[@matts1972blazer]

What size of tires do you have?

[@MortskeRepair]

275 and 255/60

[@HAILProphecy___]

Any problems with the bat eating flip kit so far?

[@MortskeRepair]

Nope

[@BornToBeFamed]

You ever cut the front bump stocks?

[@MortskeRepair]

Yup

[@BornToBeFamed]

@@MortskeRepair yep thats what imma have to do. I put some knuckles in it for now im sitting around a 4/6 with those in. Without them easily a 6/6. But Im going tubulars anyways and coils. So i figured why not cut em lol

[@trentdawg2832]

Looks awesome guys…good job

[@marcosreynaga1379]

Did you guys have issues with pinion angle?

[@MortskeRepair]

Nope

[@ShannonpdpHammond-yy7yh]

they do make shims if you do

[@oldschoolman6572]

Cut 2 coils, did you have any issues after that ?

[@MortskeRepair]

Nope, we've done several this way. Did another one on the video we released today.

[@oldschoolman6572]

@@MortskeRepair yes I did see it, great job, how many coils did you end up with on the blazer? I have my gear ready just waiting on the snow to melt before I giver on my c10

[@JulianFRosales]

what size tires are on it?

[@MortskeRepair]

255/60-15 in the front and 275/60-15 Cooper Cobras in the rear. All on factory GM 8" pickup rally wheels. Thanks for watching!

[@JulianFRosales]

I appreciate that, just lowered mine and was having trouble finding the right tire size🙏

[@MortskeRepair]

@@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 @ [e-mail]

[@JulianFRosales]

Yeah I have 235/75/15 all around and those are way to big in the front, and I just did a 5/7 drop so its rubbing alot

[@MortskeRepair]

@@JulianFRosales Yeah those are the tires that every old man likes to run! Haha! Wheels, tires and stance make or break the ride!

[@David-82]

Carry the potato 🤣🤣🤣

[@y2kxj]

Ya got a link for the rear flip kit?

[@MortskeRepair]

I think there's another comment that I posted the link. May be in the description as well. Or do a quick search on ebay for 73-87 flip kit. Thanks for watching!
