Lowering my 72

I hope you guys can help. I just lowered my 72 with 2.5 drop spindles in the front and 3" springs out back with drop shocks. In front stock height shocks. I was hoping for more of a difference in height. Does anybody have a picture of what a 3.5/4 drop would look like, or even a 3.5/5 drop. I don't want the back to be lower than the front. What do you guys think? Can I lower the rear 5" with just springs or do I have to get a notch kit? Any help would be great. Thanks!

Re: Lowering my 72

You can allway's go with a drop spring in the front and a block in the back. Both are inexpensive and you don't have to get rid of what you allready have. You may have to go with drop shocks on the front depending on how much lower you want to go.
