Another Lowering Coil Question!
So I lowered my 68 C20 4" in the rear and 2" in the front due to the 4:10 rear end gears and keeping a 31" tall tire for better drive ability. I also put one size smaller tire on the front. Been thinking it's too much of a rake look. I guy on Craig'slist has brand new 1/2 ton 5" lowering coils for sale because he is going with air ride. Will the 1/2 ton springs work on my 3/4 ton and if so will they lower it the same or more? I got mine from Paul's and I thought it mattered between 1/2 or 3/4. Thanks!!!

Re: Another Lowering Coil Question!
I wouldn't go with any more drop with the springs, just add in a 1" lowering block. That way you will retain your current ride quality.
