Leaf or coil rear suspension?
I plan on Converting it over to Disc Brakes all the way around, the fronts first so buying Drop Spindles For Discs is what I have been looking for. I have a Leaf Rear axle its a Dana 60, I just figured if I am going to be in there I might as well give it a nice Rake for now. also I dont plan on dropping the rear anywhere near 6" that's too low for my blood I use my truck as a truck still but I want it to sit lower than it is now, right now the front is 15.5"(measured just in front of the tires) from the ground and the rear is 20.5"( measured just behind the tires) from the ground I figure a 4.5" drop in the front with a 3" drop in the back wil give it a nice rake and look like an old hot rod truck. Any suggestions on how that would look?
