front coil springs question

[lukes63chev]

i saw a set a lowering springs for 75, but my question is can i put 4 inch lowering springs with out droped spindles, i have a 63 c10 that im trying to lower. also if i cut 2 coils off the front how low would it sit and would the camber be way off

[lolife99]

Hotchkis make a front lowering spring that is suppose to drop the front 4".

Cutting 2 complete coils is too much to allow for a proper front end alignment.
1-1/2 coils will get you approximately 3" of drop.

I highly suggest drop spindles and disc brakes.

I have no idea.
I don't know how Hotchkis get this 4" drop number.
I've cut stock springs to achieve a 4" drop,... and when you jack up the front,... the spring will fall over in the spring pocket.
I still say a 3" drop spring is the MAX.
(my opinion)

well that will be good because i just want to lower the front a little so its not so dam high, also im going with 205 tires instead of 235, it will help a little. and im still in highschool and dont ahave a lot of money but thanks for the help

1 1/2 coil cut will give u 3" of drop,the 205 will not fill up you wheel well like the 235.

but with the alignment be ok with the hotkis springs

I would guess that yes it will align because there is alot of room to shim the UCA on these trucks, but you have to remember your ball joints will be at a high angle and you'll be close to riding on the bumpstops. You won't be happy with the ride, trust me. I'd save some jack for 2.5" spindles and cut one coil.
