What rear springs will I need to even my truck out?
 
I got my 67 up and going and it has 72 running gear. PO of the donor 72 stated the lowering setup was from POL. He said front was lowered a total of 3.5" (w/2.5 spindles and 1" springs) and the rear a total of 5"(2" blocks/3" springs). Tires are (F)255/50R17 and (R)275/50R17s. What do I need to level my truck out?

Here is a pic of my truck:

How is the front lowered 3.5 with 2.5? Get 4" springs for the rear

Oops. 2.5" spindles and 1" spring.

Thanks for the reply. Got the 4" springs and it worked out great!

Wow, those 4" springs made a big difference. From the two photos you posted it almost looks like going from the 3" springs to the 4" springs was more than a one inch drop.
