Hey Mark, yes the Timbren kit part # TGMRC10A does fit your 1971 Chevy C10 with coil springs. Are you towing with your truck or hauling stuff in the bed?

Just hailing stuff in the bed, my truck is lowered, is that a problem with this kit?

@MarkJ Lowering will be an issue most likely as the distance between your axle and frame is now lower. How much is it lowered?

@JamesonC Its lowered about 1 1/2

@MarkJ yeah that would make for too much contact and would be pretty harsh. I wish they could be trimmed down shorter but Timbren does not recommend that.
