Front Suspension Drop Choices???
Okay, I am looking to do a 3-3.5" drop on my '68 longbed. I am going to use 15x8" rallys that came off a mid '70s truck (I think 4.5" BS). I also have a set of disc brakes (complete) from a '74 donor so keep that in mind with the choices.
I have been reading this site and researching the best method for dropping the front end. My last '68 I had done dropped A-arms from So Low (no longer around) using the stock coils. It rode great and was very happy with the ride and look. Now I am pondering which method to go. Any benefits or opinions on which method? 2.5" drop spindles with 1" drop springs from ECE, $443 3" DJM dropped spindles, Summit Racing $230 3" CCP dropped A-arms, $369 I am not looking to ever go lower and if I did, I would bag it. It seems like the best "value" is the DJM 3" spindles but don't know about the clearence issues with the wheels I want to use. Getting ready to order this stuff and I want to do it right the first time but I also don't want to just throw money away if not needed. I have other parts to buy as well. BTW, I am going with 5" dropped ECE springs in the rear and converting over the '74 rear end. Thanks for the help and advice. |
