I have a 63 and already has 1 1/2 coild cut from the front springs. This weekend I plan on installing 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and would like to see some with the coils and spindles done so I can see if it's too much. Also 2 inch blocks in the rear. Or if you have yours done like this and no pics let me know how you made out with the drop.

I think that 1.5 coils cut with 2 1/2" drop spindles might be too much, I was thinking cut springs at 1.5" was around 3" drop

Cut coils are about the roughest ride you can get.. I would consider stock springs and drop spindles.. It will probably keep you where you are, but the ride will be better.

I cut coils on my 65 stepper and it rode terribble. I ended up baggin it instead then it rode like a Caddy.. No drop spindles on that truck.
