What ride height is the CPP 'kit' meant to be set at (2/4 drop; 4/6 drop, etc...)?

Their rear arms have no drop built into them
and the truck has 3" 63-72 drop coils in the rear, or can use any other drop or stock spring for those years.

Scoti, Here is the info I got from them when I called about the kit they installed on their '79. I dont think it is as low as yours.

I think you will use a shorter drop spring than your current drop amount since the arms go under the axle? (I have shackle/hangers now for a 4", but I might have to use a 2" spring to get the same ride height?) That is the only way that having a 4" drop up front and a 3" out back sounds right to me..
