lowering
i have a 72 short wide i have installed cpp 4 inch drop coils along with there 2.5 inch aluminum blocks and i still set to high in the back what is a fairly economical way to drop the back more? i guess i thought 6.5 inches would drop it more thanks

Re: lowering
Drop blocks would be the best,... unless you want to swap out the springs.

Re: lowering
6.5 is a lot of drop without a c notch.You also have to understand that 6.5 of drop,probably isn't.That figure is from what it should have set new to 6.5 below that.The truck had probably settled over the years.That may have made your 6.5 as little as 4 in of drop.I personnally wouldn't go more than what you have with a static drop,but that's just me.

Re: lowering
They make a 2.5" block? I've never heard of that and only see 2" on their website. Not saying you're wrong or anything, but just trying to clarify.
I've seen people run a 5/7 drop around here, but a lot depends on your tire height. Got any pics of what it looks like now?
