front (lowering) springs (big block)
hi!
First i have to say i'm finnish so my english isn't very good, but please try to understand ![]() I have a -74 fleetside, originally 350cid, now with a 454cid big block. The previous owner planned to use airbags in the front, but never got it done propelry. i decided to use standard coil springs, because the truck needs so much work even without the airbags, and to lose weight also. but they were cut way too short and now it has about 1 inch of ground clearance. Question is, how much different are the big block springs, compared to the small block? I suppose the big block springs are a bit stiffer but in the other hand, the standard wront end is removed, and pretty much evereything made of fibreglass, and the battery and fuel tank is located at the back corners of the bed, so maybe the small block springs would be more suitable after all? The main thing is to get it low. Any ideas where to get lowering springs? if you could recommend any places where to get them, i would be very grateful. A friend of mine imports american cars to finland and i think it could be posiible to arrange the shipping with him, maybe. if you didn't understand something, don't hesetate to ask, i'll try to translate ![]() ![]() Last edited by J_Lanttola; 12-02-2009 at 03:30 PM. |
