Shock advice for 1969 with 2.5" Drop Spindles
I few years back I changed from drum to disc brakes with a 2.5" drop spindles. I probably should have changed shocks then but didn't have the extra cash...I do know.
I like the look of my ride. Its a tad bit lower in the front than back because of the drop spindles. I want to keep that look or maybe even back the back even with the front. I am worried if I don't get the right shocks it will mess with the ride height. As of now my shocks are absolutely shot and it bottoms out if I am not careful Any advice? I did a little research and what I found that sounds like it might work are the Bell Tech nitro2 drop shocks. I could swing springs if I had to. Any help is much appreciated! ![]()

I am running the belltech street performance shocks and like the ride. Shocks will not change the ride height. Put a set of 3" springs in the back to level the truck some and call it good.

Belltech Street Performers and the rear 3" Springs came in. As well as alum. radiator, fuel pressure reg and a few small things. Looking forward to a smooth install and a smooth ride
