I dint see anyone mention it but would he have been better to get a 2 1/2 inch drop spindle and leave the original spring?

Someone posted this picture of a 3 1/2 - 5 inch drop before and after.
I don't remember who's it was - maybe they will see this I tell you about their drop.

That drop looks great (much like most of the rides on the site).

I will have to measure again but I think what I wind up with total is a 3.25" front and 4" rear drop.

I did intend to put drop spindles on but needed a major suspension overhaul and that took precedence. It wasnt safe to drive.

A full disk brake conversion is in the works from CPP including the modular spindle.

The problem is my location and parts selection. I have to be careful of what I want and what will work together to order at one time so I still having a running truck at the end of the day and not a pile of 'future' parts.

As an example the complete front / rear suspension rebuild cost me around $1200 but $650
in shipping.

Anyone want to be a long distance shopper?.... lol
