I'm in the process of collecting parts for bagging my truck ('72 w/ rear coils).I've recently decided to use 2 1/2" drop spindles as well.My question is,what do I need to do to the rear in order to have it sit nice and level when aired out?I'm going with bags in original spring location and plan for a 2 1/2" c notch so far.Thank you.

please?

doesn't sound like you will have much problems, you goin to have to bag it first to see how level it is goin to be, but should be fairly close and if the back is lower you could put small bumpstop on there

My problem is the back isn't low anough. Need bed floor work to level out mine. Bagged with notch and 2" lowered lower arms.

uhoh that's not good news.You sayin pumpkin hits the bedfloor with just bags and a c-notch?How much lower do you need to go to be level?

I'd say a 1" or so. It's actually, around two but my front tires are a inch shorter.

hmmm I'm interested to see how mine sits now.I built my c notch on sat. and it looks like my dif.will clear the bedfloor.This is only a guess though cuz the box isn't on it.I hope it's close cuz I don't think I have room to go much more with out cutting the floor.Can't wait till my spindles get here so I can get a clearer idea!
