Re: Smooth suspension springs
Welcome, I would begin by using the search box right here on the site. Click the blue dot to the 67-72 option. It that's not enough, log in and check out the forum jump box toward the bottom of the page. There you will find a whole 'nother forum dedicated specifically to suspension. Also check out the vendors. Everybody needs a paper catalog from CPP and Early Classic Enterprises too. (You know, for bathroom reading. More hygenic than surfing on yer phone) After all that reading your bound to start forming a plan to suit your personal style.

Re: Smooth suspension springs
Most of drop springs on the market have a decent ride. Tires and shocks have a lot to do with the ride also. I am on my third set of shocks an my 66 and have the Bell tech street performance shocks on it now and they are the best set yet. The make it handle and caster mod threads in the suspension section are a must for folks learning these trucks. well worth the time to read it all. There is also an LS swap section to help you with that.
