Would like to lower a 72 LWB 2" in front and 4" rear. On my truck that would result in approx. 30" heighth front and rear. Does that sound correct?
Have done a search and have read http://www.classicperform.com/goingdown6772.htm
I have a headache.
Springs? Spindles (hope not - they're expensive)? Blocks? Cut coils?
New shocks? Relocated or not? etc. etc.
The Moog replacement parts for the front suspension will run approx. $500.
That doesn't leave much room in my budget for lowering parts.
Any definitive guidance would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
