Re: Lowering my 1970 Truck

Simple and economical?
1. cut the front springs- FREE
2. buy new rear drop springs from GMCPauls- $95 pair: http://www.gmcpauls.com/SALE_SPECIALS.htm

It doesn't get any more simple or economical. Good luck with your truck and welcome to the board!

Re: Lowering my 1970 Truck

it makes no sence to take a front suspension of a 40year old truck apart to lower it on the cheap without being prepared to change balljoints tyrod ends bushings etcetc
