Re: Best suspension upgrade?

Just opinion from another Old Fart. I'm 6'-2" 275 Lbs.

With my 68 GMC SWB at stock ride height, I always had to pull myself up, using the steering wheel, onto the bench seat. Working under-hood I had to use a step stool and still could barely reach the carb on my V8, while laying over the radiator support, being stabbed in the belly by the hood latch.

NOW after a 2-1/2" front drop and 2 inch rear drop, working under hood is NICE, like working on a Chevelle, standing on the ground I can reach anything under-hood including the firewall. It's also really nice to simply open the door now and slide in, more like a full size car too.
