DJM Suspension 3" Front / 5" Rear Complete Lowering Kit - 1.25" Rotor - Shocks Included (1973-1987 C10) - DJM2045H-3/5LTD
Complete 3/5 Drop Kit for 1973-1987 C10 with 1.25" Rotors
The DJM2045H-3/5LTD Complete Lowering Kit delivers a true 3" front and 5" rear drop for 1973-1987 Chevy C10 trucks equipped with 1.25" thick front brake rotors. This LTD version includes upgraded rear hardware, making it ideal for older trucks where original components may be worn.
Up front, proven 3" drop spindles lower the truck while maintaining factory steering geometry and ride quality. This kit is designed specifically for 1.25" brake rotors. If your C10 has 1" rotors, the correct kit is DJM2045L-3/5.
Out back, the 5" drop is achieved using a rear axle flip kit, relocating the axle from beneath the leaf spring to the top of the leaf spring. No C-section is required on the C10 frame. This LTD kit includes new U-bolts and leaf spring plates to replace original hardware if needed.
Shocks are included to properly control the suspension at the lowered ride height.
Important Rotor Fitment Note
This kit works only with 1.25" thick front brake rotors. Measure your rotors before ordering. If your truck is equipped with 1" rotors, use DJM2045L-3/5 instead.
