GMC rear lowering
'66 gmc rear leaf spring lowering. Best way to do this? Looking for around 4-5" drop.
Would now be the time to try to find Chevy truck arms and coils? Looking for lower, and better handling. |

Re: GMC rear lowering
Put the axle on top of the springs. biggest way, if not low enough, add lowering blocks.
This requires Changing the spring perches on the Axle.

Re: GMC rear lowering
converting to a 4 link would be your best option for auto cross

Re: GMC rear lowering
Agreed. A 4 link on the outside of the frame is what I would do.
