Hmmm...
I put 2.5" drop spindles on my 66 short fleet, with 72 front a-arms. I also cut the coil 1.5 loops.
I thought that was the frequent formula I saw on here.

Im running 215-75-15 radials.

I drove the truck for the first time around the block tonight....WOW..
Im dragging the lower control arms alot..its bouncing off the ground to the point Im affraid to drive it.

I have a set of those old style screw-in spring spacers. Not sure that will help.

May have to throw a set of 225-75-15s on, but not sure that gets it high enough.

All this and its 215am, and Im supposed to leave for 180 mile trip to goodguys in columbus in 8hrs....

What suggestions do you fella's have?
