3" too much

for most cases it's not enough but as far as dropping my truck 3" in the front and rear is there any other mods i NEED to get/ do besides the drop coils?






this truck is never going to get done..... anybody else feel this way?:p

You'll be good to go. Short shocks wouldn't hurt in the front, but I've never bottomed stock shocks with 3 drop springs either.

Don't be afraid, you'll love it.

Your truck is closer than mine!!! I only wish I had mine parked in the back yard so I could work on it.
3" would make a nice stance on your 69

Doesn't hurt to have the front end alignment checked after the drop.

What about changing the panhard bar(bar that connects to differential)? Is this a necessity. Ive been running the stock one but since its trashed (bushings), ive been thinking of getting a adjustable one. Is anyone running a stock one on a 3-6 drop?
