swap blocks for shorter springs?

[Greasey Harley]

My '68 c10 swb has -2" springs and 2" blocks in the rear. This configuration allows me to run stock shocks in the stock locations. It seems to handle decent enough and I can still haul my motorcycle.
Is there any advantage in switching to shorter drop springs with no blocks and relocated drop shocks?

No, There is no advantage to eliminating the drop blocks for shorter springs if they're currently working in your set-up.
Relocating the shocks for better geometry or positioning would be an advantage.

That's good enough for me. Thanks SCOTI

True
Unfortunately, motorcycles need retrieved sometimes.
Moot point anyway. I just ordered shorter springs for my "incredible shrinking truck".
I think I'll see what it looks like with a 3.5/6 drop ...WTH is wrong with me?

Rear bags vs. coils would be a good choice as well. Adjust as needed to keep the ride height consistent loaded or not & provide good ride quality either way.
