I did 1” drop springs in front and 2” drop springs in the rear. I liked it, but felt it needed 1 more inch drop in the rear. I like the drop block, it doesn’t affect my shock mount or spring travel.
The same thing happened to me when I lowered my 66. It had a bit too much rake sooo I took yhe ol acetylene torch and heated half of the bottom loop of each coil. I had two jack stands under the bumper with a bit more than 1" gap so I knew when to stop heating.
