picture of trucks with 5" rear drop spring?
Some of you may have seen my truck that I posted yesterday. Its a 67 swb. It has been lowered, but has just a bit too much of a rake for my taste. I want to bring the back down about an inch. It currently has blocks...but I am thinking some 5" drop springs would get it where it needs to be...and give me a little more ground clearance on my lower shock mounts! If any of you out there have some pictures of your swb trucks with those spring, please post! I really appreciate it!

Re: picture of trucks with 5" rear drop spring?
Thanks guys! My truck was done with the front springs cut and a monster block in the back by the PO. And the fronts must be around a 4 inch drop if these pics are a 3/3.5. I think I am going to work on going 3 and 5 with springs and shocks, starting with the back. I really like that stance SBC, that is almost exactly what my truck is like right now, only all flat black. And more dents! Do you guys trim down your front bump stops on the a-arms to allow a little more travel. Mine have probably an inch to inch-and-a-half right now! And shot springs. Drives pretty nice considering. Haha. Hate to hit a serious bump though!

Mine still has the original bump stops, and they haven't been cut. It doesn't bottom out at all either.
