Re: static drop on 1950 chev truck

If you go and cut the coils you could get the drop you want but if you do it wrong you could mess up your ride and be buying new springs. You could try that though. Its my opinion to forget about lowering the cab. You'd be opening a big can of worms. You'd have to raise the floor in the cab, then the bed to level it out to the cab, then the radiator support and front clip. That's going to be a ton of work. Honestly, you best bet may be to upgrade your mustang II kit to air ride and run bags. Its going to be a bit more costly but you will get what you want without a ton of work. Most Mustang II kit manufacturers have the parts to upgrade their kits to bags.

This is coming from a guy with a static drop.
