lowering kit for 69 gmc
I have a 1969 gmc with coil springs in front and leaf in the rear. I want to know what is the best route to go to lower it as much as i can without a c notch. want to keep it level in both the front as back as well. Thanks in advance!

Re: lowering kit for 69 gmc
Call ECE.
They will fix you up. www.earlyclassic.com They have drop leaf springs for the rear, and drop spindles and springs for the front. Everything you need. A flip kit for the rear would be cheaper, but would also be lower and require a c-notch.

Re: lowering kit for 69 gmc
Flip kit in rear will get a 5 or 6 inch drop. Relocated the rear shock and I'm fine with no notch on my 71 lwb. Used the DJM kit.
Sexy truck BTW

You are quite welcome. I like when someone posts a good pic.

Re: lowering kit for 69 gmc
I would opt for ECE..... I would also do spindles & trim the current springs (if they're not fubar'd) vs doing a 3" drop spring. The spindle/spring combo allows for improved ride quality, better shock travel, & ease of aligning.
