First off it's not nice to yell on a forum.
Turn your 'caps' off when you're typing! How many leafs in the spring pack? You can remove a couple to lower it. |

Early Classic Enterprises has 4" lowering leafs that will maintain your ride and load capacity. If that's not low enough, you can can put your drop shackles back on for a 6-inch drop, and you still don't have to notch the frame.....

Re: 65 gmc rear leaf springs best way to lower it?
I took off all of the short springs and put on the longer shackle and got a little lower than you but not much. I am also running 275-60 15 tires that are lower profile. if you get the flip kit it might lower it too much. it will lower it 5-6 inches.
