Shorter coils (either cut or aftermarket dropped-coils) require more shims which can require longer studs. Some trucks dont need them (both my 68 & 74 didn't), others do.

The exceptions to this rule are adjustable a-arms or re-designed (shortened lower/stretched upper) a-arms.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
