Re: Rough/Bouncy Ride
Just redid Suspension and other thngs to my 92,000 mile 1972 Long Box truck over last Winter and have put about 1000 miles on it since back together. Decided to go with a 2 1/2 inch dropped spindle and retained the original coil Springs. Out back I first used a 4 inch dropped spring but the back was down too much for me, pic of truck on hoist, so got 3 inch ones and it gave me that low lean look I wanted. I too had the factory overload spring on the truck but had already had em moved earlier whe rear fuel tank was installed. I used shock relocators with the OE Spectrums that had been on the truck for a few years already. Put 255/60 17 tires on 17 x 8 rims on all 4 corners. The truck rides and handles super and you can take corners quite spiritidly.
