factory hight (67) and what coils springs I need

I have a 67 short fleet that I replaced with new coil springs, the springs I used came from LMC front and back and now the truck sits at 31 and half inches up front and and 35 inches in back, from the top center of the wheel wells to the ground. I would like to level my truck with the same hight as up front or as close as possible. Any help in parts and brands needed would sure be appreciative . Thanks Nick

Early Classic parts has drop spring kits for any height you was. Call them and tell them what your doing.

Re: factory hight (67) and what coils springs I need

Depending on how long ago you replaced your springs, you might want to let them settle before making any changes. The fronts may or may not settle at the same rate or height as the rear springs.

If it's been long enough that they have already settled then the rear needs to come down 3.5". I'd get the 2" drop rear springs and use a 1.5" block in the rear to keep as much suspension travel as possible. Some guys also suggest using just a spring rather than a block.
