FWIW*** and IMHO I say yes the pinion angle will have be adjusted, pretty easy task, I had to have my driveshaft shortened because it was causing the rear tranny seal to leak
I don't regret lowering mine, it sat about like yours does when I got it. I went with QA1 coil overs in the front for the adjustability. The rear had alrady been flipped but I added 2" shackles and 1" blocks. To get any semblance of clearance I had to redo the C notch with a under bed/over frame notch plus the pumpkin hit the bottom of the bed so I made a little "hat" for clearance, that's because the 454SS has the 14" rear end
It rides decent although on serious dips and such it will bottom out, has room for about 3+" travel, but I have pretty big ties and wheels also.
The fronts are the same story, price we pay to look "cool" as they say.
Good luck

Hello all!
I have aquired my fathers old truck. 1997 c1500 5.7 5-Speed. I'm looking to c-notch and lower further. Have some questions.
1) Will pinion angle need to be adjusted?
2) Drive shaft need shortened?
3) Those of you that have done this, do you regret it?
4) My truck is lowered with 2" Spindles.. And I believe 4" springs. I have new belltech coil springs(1" I believe) and shackles. I know most people just do a flip kit.. What would happen if I flipped with those springs?
What would you suggest I do moving forward?
All suspension parts are 2 years old with maybe 1,000 miles on them..

Great looking truck! I'm guessing you mean 14 bolt rear, not 14" rear? I'd love to find a 5 lug version, but that'll never happen because of how rare they are.
Mine is the 14 bolt and I have 5 lugs ??
