A few questions...

[jdmaffeo]

I have started a post on the suspension forum, but haven't had much luck there. So I will try here...I have started to completely rebuild my front suspension. I have already have taken it completly apart and have even started to powder coat the parts. I am about ready do start installing the PST bushings and put it back together!! I want to order the following as soon as possible:

1. 2 1/2 inch drop spindles (b/c 15 inch wheels for now)
2. 1 1/2 to 2 inch drop springs
3. 6 inch Belltech flip and c-notch kit.
4. Shocks (I don't know which type)

My questions are simple I hope. Will the truck be level with the chosen parts? WIll I need anything else? Is there a brand that is a must have/stay away from. Also I have read many posts that are good and horror stories of some of the vendors. Any vendors that You would recommend? Here is the post that I put up on the suspension forum http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=229468

Any advice would be appreciated!!!

I went 3" Ground Force springs up front and lowered the rear 7" without any kit. That made my 74 sit level.

With the 4" you have listed for the front you may be a little high on the rear, You may need to add a rear shackle drop kit also to sit level. But this depends on the loss tension in your rear leafs also.

This is before the TOTAL strip-down.

I put 3" drop spindles from Bell-tech (I have 15" wheels with 4.5" backspacing)) on my and my Son's trucks. I added the lowering springs for the front 'A' arms, but spaced back up 3/8" to get the stance that I wanted. I dropped the rears on both with the Bell-Tech 4" drop kit. No probelms with wheel spacing or ride issues
