do I don't I
I have a 1965 stepside,i am debating on on a stock height or a little lower.I have 1973 or something front and rear end. i am using stock trailing arms,If i go stock,would it be wise to buy new coil springs.Will the extra weight of V8 matter. thanks for thoughts

Re: do I don't I
naaa it won't matter, unless your springs are really worn out...

Re: do I don't I
 Ha Ha, surprised to be the first one. Anyhow, I vote lower. I really like the way a 4/5 drop looks on these trucks, that is if you're not wanting to drag frame.

Re: do I don't I
You better drop it, you might suffer from lack of oxygen or nose bleeds at the higher altitude...
