How does this setup look?
 
Here is a link to the suspension setup I would like to get for my '71. I was wondering what you guys thought of it? The kit I'm wanting is the 3"/4" drop they advertise on special for $549.00.

Thanks for the help,
Steven

Looks good, I prefer the spindle and spring combo for lowering the front (but that's just a personal preference)
It looks like a very complete kit

Have you compared ECE parts to the CPP ones you listed?

I do agree with you on that, but I figured with just 3" in the front it would not be a big deal. What do you think?

No I haven't. Do you think there is a quality or price difference between the two? I'm really just looking right now. Do you have any suggestions?

I like the ECE parts, I have the 2" drop spindles, and 2 inch drop coils for the front, and the 5" drop coils for the rear, with the shock relocater and track bar kit
The quality IMO is top notch, everthing fits like stock, with no tweaking (I've had some parts that require lots of tweaking), Can't say anything about the CPP, but for me it'll be nothing but ECE :)

I've seen front sway bar brackets that have a lower profile. I'd check into that.

ECE sells those too. I wrote an FAQ article about swaybar install on a lowered truck. I used those brackets in the article.
