Re: lowering a 1968 chev truck
Take a read through the suspension forum. Lots of good info (and pics) there. The 'make it handle' thread is really good (long but good). Most of the vendors cruise that forum and the good ones are willing to guide you in right direction. Do some reading, know what you want to achieve. Make a long term plan (and budget). Once you figure out how to make these trucks go around corners it can be additive. And not all the mods are high dollar parts.
Drop spindles on the front are a little more money but keep your suspension travel and geometry unchanged. I wouldn't go more than 2 1/2 with 15” tires.I went 3” and wound up with clearance issues on the lower control arms. 2” block on rears the most you can do after that you can get any number of drop springs. You'll be limited on how far you can go on whether you want a c notch. You've got about 6“ before you're on the bump stops.
