I've got a 72 GMC sierra. i t was origionally my dads, and ive taken it all down to the frame and resored it (its still primer flat black though..plan is to 2 -tone it red and white with all teh original chrome) i want to lower it 4" in the front and 6" in the rear. i have leaf spring suspension in the rear and reg. coils in the front...what is the way to go about lowering it (no axle flip kits or airbags)
thanks,
Kevin

A drop spindle and drop coil will do the front.

In the rear, a drop leaf spring combined with lowering shackles will do it.

Early Classic has everything you need to do the job front and rear.

If you have a wood floor make sure you dont use a 2" drop shackle. it will hit the floor.
