Re: Lower a Drum Brake Truck

You're really limited to 3 inches in the front without buying drop spindles and converting the brakes. Even with a 3 inch spring, your suspension needs to be tight for the alignment to work. Any real slop in your control arm bushings and ball joints will not allow enough camber adjustment at three inches drop. You go further than 3 inches with just a lowering spring alone and you're not going to be able to get the alignment anywhere near proper spec.

A good source of cheap 3 inch front springs is Summit. Part number SUM G-727. I have run them plenty of times and even have a set under my current build.
