Re: stock vs after market coil springs
Keep in mind that the original coil springs have had 50 years to compress and sag. When I did a disc brake swap several years ago, I wanted to lower mine a just a bit more than it sat at the time. I put a 1" drop spring in the front and 2" drop springs in the rear. The result was the truck sitting about 2" higher all the way around!
My suggestion is look at other trucks with drops. Figure out which drop you like and get the kit with all springs, spindles, etc. to get the desired drop. Or as mentioned, put it back together with the stock springs and see if you like it that way before spending more money.
