drum brake drop ?

I would like to drop a 70 swb but i dont really want to swap to disc brakes yet gonna wait till i tear into the truck this winter,I want to drive it and enjoy for now. looks like a 3" front spring is about as low as i can go in the front without having bad allignment probs ? just curious

Re: drum brake drop ?

i meant as far as alignment, being my springs were cut they didnt fit into the cups properly, if your buying drop coils you will be fine

Re: drum brake drop ?

I was interested in doing the same thing. Does anyone make a drop spindle for drum brakes?
