Coil drop with a six cylinder
New to the forum, this place is great! I'm looking to coil drop the front (and rear) of my '67 C10 short-step. I'm keeping the 250/6. I'm assuming that the commercially available drop coils are intended for V8's. What is the weight difference between a 6/8? If a coil has an advertised drop of 2", will I get 2" with the six? Or maybe put in a 3" drop coil to get 2"? Opinions?

Re: Coil drop with a six cylinder
I would say they are the same.
I just lowered my 69 (292 6 cylinder) and I would say the drop is the same as any V8 truck I have done.

Re: Coil drop with a six cylinder
I agree. I always have gotten the full advertised drop with springs when installed into a 6 cylinder truck. Thise sixes are much heavier than most folks realize.

Re: Coil drop with a six cylinder
No kidding. I'm rebuilding my 6 now and it bounces around some on my 1000 lb engine stand when I roll it aound the shop. Especially when I put the head on.
