Re: Cue-Ball's 1980 SWB

I used McGaughy's 2.5" drop spindles and cut half a coil off my stock springs. However, I'm not sure *which* stock springs I have. My truck was originally a 6-cyl and was swapped to a V8. I don't know which springs are in there or if they were ever replaced in the last 30 years. I'm pretty sure I'm going to cut another half coil off to drop the front another inch or so. Also need to remove the bumpstop and metal bracket from the rear to give me some more suspension travel since the back end tends to bottom out on large bumps.
