Is this correct?My truck has been lowered about 4".I am going back to original stock height.I have priced coil springs and shocks.Will I have to have another rear track bar to get it back to stock height?

use everything off the 72, spindles, ball joints, tie rod ends (inner and outer) centerlink, pitman, idler (yes these are the same as 67, but you get the idea).
Think of it this way... you now have 72 front suspension, use all 72 stuff. the centerlink is 71-72 only and will need this to get the correct inner & outer tie rod ends.
There are other ways to go about this, but the 71-72 centerlink and 72 spindle is the easiest. That is... if you want stock height spindles and can locate a 71-72 centerlink as they are not reproduced.
