Help with lowering 72 Chevy

I have a 72 chevy pickup longbed that im wanting to lower. I was thinking two in the front and four in the back. I was just loking for some advice on ways to do it, and also if anyone has any extra drop springs laying around that would be nice too. Thanks

Re: Help with lowering 72 Chevy

you can achieve the 2 4 drop with lowering springs or you can go even lower in the front with spindles for the best ride i'd go with 2 inch drop spindles in the front and the 4 inch springs in rear then if you want to go lower you can always add the springs in the front

Agreed, spend the extra money up front and go w/ spindles. It's worth every penny, and you will retain your alignment, and ride quality.
