static 2/4 drop on 70 chevy

I have a couple questions about a static 2/4 drop
1) can someone tell me the stock height of a long box?
2) do I need an adjustable track bar for the back?
3) do I need shorter or relocation brackets for the front shocks
4) will my front tires rub with 8inch wide rims and 235/75/ 15 tires

Thanks

Re: static 2/4 drop on 70 chevy

I have only read about it, but the consensus seems to be that with a 2/4 drop you only need to change the springs...everything else works ok.

Again, this is not from my experience as I haven't done mine yet, just what I have learned from reading threads on here.

I think you are spot on ...
