Will 2 & 4 inch drop spring kit - any problems? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HeavyD · 05-02-2005, 06:55 PM

I have a 70 GMC that needs lowering badly. If I buy a kit that just has 2 and 4 inch drop springs with new shocks in it, will there be any problems? Ride poorly? Trouble with alignment? I noticed ECE has a basic kit and a deluxe kit with panhard bar etc..is the basic kit good enough? Or should I just buy the drop spindles and be done with it? Thanks.

Go with the ECE kit, you will not be disappointed.
You'll have to use the rear shock relocator brackets that required grinding off the stock brackets and bolting in the new brackets (provided).
You should get the adjustable rear panhard bar as well

I second the ECE kit. Go ahead and get the 4/6 drop. You won't regret it!
