lowering questions
I don't know very much about lowering a vehicle and I was thinking about lowering my truck. i was thinking about going with 2.5" drop spindles and lowering springs in the rear. If it install the drop spindles will it affect anyting else but the ride hight, will I have to change anything else? I don't know exactly what the truck would look like lowered so I would appreciate it if you could post some pics of a similar drop to compare and decide. Thanks

If you already have disk brakes on your truck then all you would need to do is swap over to drop spindles. Drop spindles are actually the same height as stock spindles it just relocates where the wheel bolts up to the spindle. I imagine if you let everyone know what kind of truck you have we could find some good pix of it with drop spindles.

I'd just go 4/6. You're gonna like it lower for a little while, but will eventually want to go lower. Might as well slam it from the beginning and love it for life.

OOHH yeah telling you guys what I have might help a little, sorry. Its a 68 GMC longbox. And as for slamming it off the beginning...I don't think so. I'm going to drive it daily and go off road, nothing serious just into a feild for hunting season. The truck has drum brakes ,does that make any difference?

My dad recently lowered his 70' with drums by cutting the front coils and using new 4" rear coils. Looks way better and handles way better too!
