Question do I don't I

I have a 1965 stepside,i am debating on on a stock height or a little lower.I have 1973 or something front and rear end. i am using stock trailing arms,If i go stock,would it be wise to buy new coil springs.Will the extra weight of V8 matter. thanks for thoughts

Re: do I don't I

Ha Ha, surprised to be the first one. Anyhow, I vote lower. I really like the way a 4/5 drop looks on these trucks, that is if you're not wanting to drag frame.

You better drop it, you might suffer from lack of oxygen or nose bleeds at the higher altitude...
