64-66 front suspension
Has anyone found any other springs that work to lower the trucks.
I know there are lowering springs, but do springs from any other vehicles work? |

Re: 64-66 front suspension
All three of my trucks i just cut the front coils, i think somebody on here used s10 springs once but cant remember who and would want to confirm with them before i tried it, besides that the only other thing i know far as springs is to buy drop springs, but im cheap and cut mine.

Re: 64-66 front suspension
I'd guess around $20, I'd sell and ship for 80.00

Re: 64-66 front suspension
Just keep the bags on it. You could put a shrader (sp?) valves on it and use a portable tire pump that plugs into the lighter if you need to raise it. That's what I did for years with my 89 C1500.

Re: 64-66 front suspension
That's what Ive been doing. I've been looking for a portable air compressor to keep with the truck. The thing is it take a minimum of 150psi to get the front up. A tire pump took like 25 minutes to pump it up.

Re: 64-66 front suspension
Anyone ever try '68-'72 small block Chevelle coils? Don't know if they'd lower it any, but the ride would be alot softer. Just a thought.....
