Then while you have it apart do the caster mod to the lower control arms (1/2" will get you all you need). You will be able to get 4 to 5 degrees of caster camber will be easy to set with out the extreme angle of the upper control arm that the 4 inch spring gives you and the tie rod angles will be pretty flat keeping the bump steer under control. The springs for the 73-87 are the same as 63 and up.

From what I was told 63-66 front springs will not fit in a 73-87 front suspension. But if you’re correct I do have 3” lowering springs when I had a c20 suspension But recently made my truck a c10 with front suspension out of a 73-87 Chevy c10. I had bought them from gmc Paul’s and they are supposedly made for c20. I just want to keep it simple.
