Confused Leaf and Coil rear which way to go

[Jacksonville1972]

I am new to this forum and just purchased a 1972 Chevy LB. with intentions on dropping the front with Drop Springs 2 inches and the rear 4 inches. After looking at the rear suspension I have rear leafsprings but then I also have what looks like coilovers. I looked at the spid and it lists G50 heavy rear spring and G70 Rear suspension Leaf Spring. What is my best option for dropping this rearend 4 inches?

there are two easy ways to reach your goal. The first is to flip the axle on the spring giving you about 3 inches and then adding a lowering hanger to give you the full 4 inches and you will probably need a c notch. The second way is to swap to trailing arms and go with 2" blocks and 2" springs or 4" inch springs, might need a notch for this as well. Either way will work just fine.

They do make a coilover shock which is probably what you are seeing.People use them for different reasons mostly is to lift up the back when the stock springs have sagged.
