This is really getting old. The front of my 79 is droped 5". So is my 78. I had no problems with the 78. The 79 is hitting every freakin bump it can. My a-arms arent going to last much longer. They already have a good 1/4" of metal removed in one spot. Why is this happening? I used all the good stuff, toxic shocks, eiback springs, 3" spindles. My 78 had the stock shocks on it. My only guess is the eibach springs. They are progressive rate. So maybe they are compressing to easy in the beggining, allowing my truck to hit EVERYTHING?
If anyone has ideas, Id love to hear them.
