I have a 71 c20 and i am looking at a very mild drop 2-3", i have leafs in the back and was looking at removing 2-3 of the 6 leafs and getting a drop shackle for the rear and then a 2" drop spring for the front. will doing that is the rear get the job done? i was looking at stylin trucks and it says the drop shackle is for 5 lug would it make a difference?

Early Classic has dropped leafs. I think they are 4". A shackle will also work (2") but I would not remove anymore than 1 leaf. Good luck.
