New Spring Size?
I'm wanting to put new springs on my 67. It's been lowered in front, but I'm not sure by how much. The rear springs look original, but not sure and front "bottom out" bumper is about 4" from the brace. How can I tell what springs to get and keep my same ride height?

Re: New Spring Size?

Re: New Spring Size?
If the rear is the original, replacing it with a new stock height spring will likely raise the truck a couple inches...that's how much mine has settled over the years.
Nice truck!

Re: New Spring Size?
I also agree, new springs should raise you up about two inches...

Re: New Spring Size?
Wow, good to know. It'll look like a jacked up dragster! Haha I was hoping to figure out what length springs to buy before I pull the old ones off...
Does anybody know what stock ride height was on the original 67s?
