WTB/WTT dropped rear coil springs

I updated the rear trailing arms on the 68 S/C truck to a set of Porter Built tubular ones that have a built in 3" drop. My 6" springs were way to low, so I traded them for a pair of new 5" CPP drop springs. Guess what It's still to low, sooooooooo I need a set of 4" ones to get me back to the correct height. Let me know what you've got. Thanks in advance.

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Hi - I have a new pair of CPP 4" rear drop coils, never driven on the road. I would be willing to trade for your 5" coils. I can ship asap. Thanks-Wayne
