You'll need a flip kit for more than 4" of rear drop. Quite honestly, a flip kit is easier to install than shackles + hangers.

1 coil off the front springs will be between 2-3" of drop. The amount will vary depending on the amount of spring sag & weight of your drivetrane.

Do you have any rubbing issues with your tires up front. What's the backspace on your front/rear wheels?

Since I put the stock rubber bumpstops in I don't have rubbing issues (w/exception to extreme bumps/dips). However, I don't have nearly the amount of travel on my 74 as I do my 68 that is set up similarly. I did relocate my shocks higher on the frame for more travel.

My wheels are 18x8 w/5.25BS (5"BS would be better) up front & 20x10 w/5"BS out back.
