I finally picked up a 1969 Longbox Fleetside yesterday after months of searching and I thought I would ask you guys what you would suggest for lowering?

I would like to drop it around 3 inches, as it sits fairly high right now. I'm aiming for a slight bit of wheel tuck.

On my old mazda I had Nitro Drop 2's and 3" blocks in the rear, and the torsion bars cranked right off and it was dumped, but in a bad way.

It has trailing arms/coils in the rear instead of leafs so what do you suggest for lowering options?

Thanks!!
