Post Chisholm suspension on a 70...

Hey, has anyone used Chisholm suspension kits on their trucks? Like their springs, tubular A-arms, rear leafs, and other stuff? I have heard both good and bad about their products. I just want to lower the front of my 70 about 2 inches for better handling, preformance, and asthetics. Should I just throw a 2 inch drop spring in the front and leave the stock A-arm there? I think their lowered tubular control arms have the dropped pocket thing.

why don't you use spindles to drop it? you can retain your stock springs for a soft ride but get the look you want..

imo, springs are just too harsh.. my friend has 3" in his '00 Sonoma and the ride is like *bang*bang* when you go over bumps
