I have a 1969 chevy c 10 swb truck. I lowered it and I have the right height. I am using full length headers but have run into ground clearance problems.  I need info---on exhaust system for this truck, a straight drive truck.

I have a 69 F100 and had 3" drop I-Beams put on by a spring shop with 45 years exp and have run into problems - when I went to pick up my truck I could visually see that the camber and toe was off - he admitted that there was a problem with the bend on the I-Beams and said he would fix it - he also said he had never seen 2 pair of I-Beams that were the same - thats not what several companys I called that make them said - so what I ended up with is a pair of heated and bent I-Beams to correcct the camber and a loss of 50% of my left turnning radius - does anyone know are these normal problems for drop I-Beams or did I just get a poor job with bad parts - Jay
