Flip kit first before there's a need for blocks.

Look through the various dropped trucks threads from this web-site using this feature http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/search.php.
Pick the amount of drop you like. Buy rear drop coils (or coils & lowering blocks) that equal the amount. Install & enjoy. ECE has a section of their web site dedicated to various drop amounts.... www.earlyclassic.com . . ..... http://www.earlyclassic.com/Tech.asp...=Stance+Photos
