Rear Coil spring lowering question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Do the springs have to mount top and bottom ? I was wondering if I could trim part of a top coil off. Or does it need both ends to mount ? Thanks

I was also wondering how to use a lowering block on these trucks ? Drill 2 holes for the U bolt or should I buy the more expensive 2 hole blocks ? thanks

The springs need to be secured top and bottom.

It's easy to make lowering blocks for these trucks. Just use thick wall square tubing and longer u-bolts. Two inches is about the max though or you'll run into scrub line problems.
