2/4 cheap drop ? Post pics

[70ssclone]

Just got a 68 lwb this Saturday , it has drums and i don't want to change them yet and with buying the truck for 3500 i need to save up money for a while for a 4/6 drop , wheels and tires , and discs up front . Do I need to put different shocks with a 2/4 and a new track bar or will I be ok ? I was also thinking of cutting one coil out front and using TJ springs out back that I have laying in the shed .

You will be fine with everything you have. tearing it apart will be fun.

Yep that's what I did 1 coil up front and the TJ springs out back , I did notice it was a bit springy/boucny in the back. I made shock relocaters to make them stand more upright ,made a world of difference in ride . if you look/search here you will find how to relocate shock brackets .Look down in the FAQ down at the bottom of forum.

thanks for the info, so stock length shocks are fine as well as long as they are relocated?

That's what I did was going to replace them with shorter ones but they ride just fine and don't bottom out. I have ran them this way for a couple years now

Sweet , then when I want it lower I can just buy dropped spindles for the front and 2in blocks out back with a adjustable track bar
