Does anyone have a step by step for.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

the lowering of a 71' 2wd with disc's up front?

I just got and waiting to be installed, ECE 2.5" drop spindals and 2" front Ground Force drop springs for the front and ECE 4" drop springs for the back.

Need steps for changing out rear springs. Also need steps for front spindal swap and front springs. I'm going to replace all the tie-rod boots and rubber bumpers while I'm at it. Any help or advise is appreciated.

Thanks

ECE 2.5 spindles and Ground Force 2 inch springs? Have you been listening to me? I run that combo on everything of mine, including my current truck.

Truth be known as I cannot tell a lie......I really like the way your truck sits and printed out your set-up you posted about a year ago. So...yes I was listening all the way down to the Summit Sport Shocks on all 4 corners. and by the way the GF 2" front drop springs are still coming in Blue powder coat.
Can't wait to get them installed. Thanks for your set-up details you posted!!!

So did you order the 73-87 short front shocks?

ChevyDude · 08-26-2004, 07:19 PM

Here is a link to the post by TX Firefighter which is where he explains the drop he did. There was a few pics of the way his truck sits with this drop but seems to be missing now. Maybe he can post it again??? Thanks again for the valued info we all share with each other!!!
