spring hight
Ok here is my problem. I am wanting to put drop springs on my truck . 2 1/2 in the front but not shure what to use in the rear. My problem is my truck sits level right now but I am not shure if my rear springs are saging or what the problem is. I was told the truck has 3/4 ton springs on the rear but I am not positive if that is tru. Any help or advice would be great. Thanks for all your help.

Re: spring hight
I can't imagine your truck is different than the rest, probably does have something to do with your current springs.
Lots of places have what you want: http://www.earlyclassic.com/catalog.aspx |

Re: spring hight
How far is it from the axle tube to the frame now? ECE claims a 6" spring will leave 3" between the axle tube and frame. If that's correct we can assume a factory height spring would have 9" of clearance. Take a current measurement to figure about how much the truck has sagged and then adjust accordingly for how much lower you want to see it.

Re: spring hight
Thanks for the input. My truck sits pretty high to begin with so I am wondering if the front springs were changed also. Thanks again for the help.
