Do a 4/6 drop with spindles & springs.

CPP dropped spindles, and 3" lowered springs. I cut about 3 in of new coils to get it just right up front. Back has a C Notch, 5" spring and 2 in block. Adjustable panhand bar.

I would need to notch the frame to drop 6 inches in the resr, correct?
I'm looking at the spindles now, can I do the spindles and springs in the front and drop the rear later? I want to still drive it and will need to go in steps as funding allows.

You don't have to notch with 6" drop. However, you will be limited to how much weight you can carry in your bed.
If you don't do the rear at the same time, it will look like a stink bug.

I used 4" drop springs plus blocks in the rear....You supposedly get better ride with 4 vs 6" drop springs. Also...you will need an adjustable pan bar to keep the geometry correct.
