Drop ????

[enigma]

I have been researching on here on 3/5 drops. But my question is, what is the best way to drop a 67 with fuel tank in back? For static drop that is. 3 inch springs and the weight of the fuel will drop it that couple inches or will HD 4 inch drop springs and one inch spacers be good? Also with the fuel tank in back will it be mandatory to c notch it? There has been debate on the c notch being not needed until being 6 inch or more but does that account for the extra 200 pounds being already in the rear of the truck? Okay I think that matches my four question marks lol. Thanks Baron

I would use 4' inch springs and if not big enough drop use 1' block. You will not need a c-notch, unless you plan on hauling alot of stuff or towing.

I have a '63, I dropped mine 5 inches in the rear using the jeep TJ springs, and 2" blocks made from steel square tubing. No c-notch was needed. I just cut the bump stops down so they were slightly lower than the frame. I also have a rear mounted 14 gallon gas tank and it doesn't cause any problems.

Oh and I replaced the stock panhard bar with an adjustable.

I can't put a ton of weight in the rear though.
