3 inch drop springs?
 
Hey guys does anyone make a 3 inch drop spring for the front of a 67-72?

I don't know if they are out there or not, but I wouldn't go more than 2 inches on springs because you don't want to be overly aggressive on reducing suspension travel.

I would try to get most, or all, of the drop you want with the spindles.

Yes but I don't recommend them. Had a set in a truck I bought and when you jacked up the truck, the springs would fall over in the pockets. They are too short to keep any preload on them.

I swapped those out for a set of 2" drop spindles and 1" drop springs. Same overall drop but road soooooo much better and didn't have any issues with the springs falling over.
