Re: 3\5 springs
You will also need drop shocks,... with your 3/5 spring drop.

Re: 3\5 springs
You can get away with just springs. Might not be the best ride but it will do.

Re: 3\5 springs
With 3" drop springs in the front, your LCAs will be dangerously close to the ground. IMHO

Re: 3\5 springs
Not by themselves.
My 69 has 3" springs and drop spindles. I plan to add 20" wheels,...

Re: 3\5 springs
Does anybody know if lowering springs have less coils (factory cut) or just made differently to lower a truck with same amount of coils? And if factory lowered springs are just less coils and are shorter, do they rattle around in spring pocket when truck is raised off ground for service?
