'72 sway bar and shocks? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DGulliver · 09-03-2013, 09:47 AM

My 72 here has a static drop, maybe a 2/4? I don't think it's drop spindles, probably just cut coils/blocks on the trailing arms. Not trying to go any lower, just get things straightened out for now.

So my questions are; there's no brackets where the sway bar connects to the lower a-arm. Can I just round up the brackets and replace all the sway bar bushings? Anything I need to do differently because of the drop?

Also, can I just run stock shocks, or do I need shorter ones? Recommendations for a daily driver?
