Re: 3/5 drop on 71 shortbed
You need a set of rear shock relocators, drop shocks, and an adjustble trac bar to get the rear end to ride better.
Nice looking truck.

Re: 3/5 drop on 71 shortbed
how do you like the 3" springs in the front? Seems like a lot of drop with springs only like it might ride rough or be difficult to have a proper alignment

Re: 3/5 drop on 71 shortbed
I put the drop shocks in the back and was thinking about adjustable rear track bar.The front surprisingly rides good with drop springs had to cut down bump stops.At first I didn't want to go that low but now I'm glad it did.Still was able to use factory front 1 1/16 front away bar.thanks for all the compliments on the Truck.

Re: 3/5 drop on 71 shortbed
I bought a never installed CPP 3/5 kit here on the forum a while back for about half price. It included drop springs, rear shock relocators, adjustable track bar and drop shocks. I have already installed it but the truck isnt running yet and I am antsy!
