Re: Bonnie 1971 SWB LSX

Installed the 2" drop springs today and the truck sits up another inch. I'm very happy with the stance and suspension travel. There is still the issue of the brake hoses though. After more research I found that I'm not the only guy with this problem. Turns out that on the 71/72 frame the mounts for the brake lines/hoses are on the front and a longer hoses are needed with drop spindles. There is a lot of suggestions of using a C20 brake hose and after a trip to napa I confirmed the info on the board that napa doesn't stock the longer C20 brake hose. So I'll order some up and go from there
