Drop My Rear end....

I have a 72 GMC 3/4 ton Burb. I want to drop the rear about 2-3" as it sits a lot higher than the front.

I have done an extensive search, but have not found an answer for my application.

Is there some different springs I can get?

Any other options?

I would appreciate any help.

Jeff

Looks pretty good, but I will have to call and find out if those drop springs work for my 3/4 ton.

Coil Springs? Not sure if any Burbs were leaf... but if it's coil just get some lowering blocks. Here are some I made back in highschool:

Here's one option. I'm sure ECE and even local shops carry them too.

That looks good, but I have not seen anything that says it will be fine for a 3/4 ton.
I would suppose if it all looks the same between a 1/2 ton and a 3/4 ton, the blocks would be fine.
