Re: 1972 level rear with blocks or drop coils?

If you do go with springs look into a shock relocation modification too.
The downside of blocks would be a loss of ground clearance under the trailing arms.
This truck will probably be driven less than 500 miles per year and only on clean paved roads. It's a show truck. Just want to lower enough in the rear to get a more level look. With all that said, still don't want a vibration or drive shaft angle/pinion angle issue by adding blocks.
Can I still use the shocks that are on it now?
Lowered a lot of trucks, but never a 67-72 with trailing arms.
