The 1973–1987 Chevy C10—known affectionately as the “Squarebody”—is one of the most popular trucks in the custom scene today. Builders love the timeless body lines, the bulletproof drivetrains, and the endless aftermarket support. But if you’re ready to take your Squarebody from stock height to a show-ready stance, the DJM Suspension 5” Front / 5” Rear Complete Lowering Plus+ Kit is one of the most complete and reliable suspension drops available.

If you're browsing options, you can also explore our full line of lowering kits and dedicated C10 suspension upgrades.

Why Choose a 5/5 Drop for Your Squarebody?

A 5/5 drop strikes the perfect balance between aggressive stance and street-friendly ride quality. It gets your C10 low enough to turn heads, tuck wheels, and dramatically improve the truck’s overall profile. At the same time, it maintains good travel, alignment capability, and drivability.

Installation Notes

DJM designed this kit as a bolt-on system, but you should expect a full-day install with good tools. Professional installation is recommended for best results, especially when it comes to alignment after the drop.

Make sure to:

• Check ball joints and bushings while components are apart
• Get a professional alignment immediately after installation
• Consider upgrading shocks — see our shock selection for lowered C10s
