Will this work???

I originally installed 2" drop springs on my 67, but it is not low enough. I would like to install early classic 2.5 drop spindles, but I am not sure if it will work. The guys at early classic said it will but most guys don't like it. If anyone has installed this combonation on there 67-72 truck I would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks!

The wheels you choose may be your only problem, but I have the same drop in the front.

I have 2.5 inch ECE spindles and 2 inch springs on my 2wd Blazer. This works fine. This is a great set up as long as your wheels have the proper backspacing. I would also suggest trimming the lower control arms if you are running 15 inch wheels. (grind in the area of the lower ball joint,... if your 15's have 4" or more back space.)

I'm running 3 inch drop springs, and 2.5 drop spindles with 18" wheels. Works fine for me
