Re: Confused about drop spindles vs lowering coils

i used 2 1/2 drop spindles and stock springs in the front. not too low. roads arnt as flat round here. still made it on the wrecker without dragging even with the air deflector on the front bumper. what are you usin for wheels? the size of the wheel/ back spacing/tire size come into play dont wanna be rubbn on the inner fender well over the smallest bump. in the rear i did a spring under the axle conversion had to remove the shackles n rebolt them remove the rubber snubbers n run the spring under the axle stead of over it still had enough space so it didnt bottom out. any lower and youll have to c notch the frame depends on the look your goin for. some people like more of a rake. take a look at some trucks in the forums and figure out what your goin for ask and find out what they had to do to achieve the height.-jeff
