Choose the brakes before you choose the drop. Ridetech 11349300 lowers the listed C10’s front end 2.5 inches, and its supplied caliper brackets are built around the specified 1973-1987 heavy-duty disc-brake parts.
Fitment
1963-1970 Chevrolet C10 with the brake and steering interfaces specified in Ridetech’s current instructions.
The supplied brackets use 1973-1987 heavy-duty rotors measuring 1-1/4 inches thick and the matching calipers. These spindles do not work with drum brakes. Do not assume every aftermarket brake kit matches.
Included
Pair of drop spindles, pair of caliper brackets, four 5/8-18 x 1.25-inch bolts, four lock washers and four flat washers.
Before ordering and installation
Match the rotor thickness, caliper and bracket arrangement before dismantling the truck. Verify bearings, seals and brake service parts for the installed combination.
Check brake hoses, calipers and steering parts through the entire steering and suspension range. The current guide describes an adjustable steering stop using a 7/16-14 bolt; that bolt is not listed in the supplied hardware.
Ridetech recommends 1/2-inch wheel studs with 18-inch and larger wheels. Have the truck professionally aligned and follow the linked instructions for bearing adjustment and hardware torque.
