69 Gmc lowering springs,,,

I'm also interested in doing a 3/4 spring drop. Are there any issues in using the 3" springs in the front? some posts recently about them with mixed opinions, loose, rattling, etc. Anybody have any pics of this drop, would like to see what it looks like.

Really only use the truck to go around town and do not wana replace the drum brakes for now

So was looking to get lower springs and shocks,,,and see how goes

Re: 69 Gmc lowering springs,,,

Not sure about loose/rattling, but your A-arms will need to be shimmed a bunch to compensate for the lowering when you get it aligned. I think a combination of drop spindles would be the way to go, plus you can upgrade to disc brakes.
