rear suspension help
Got my truck outta storage what should I do for rear suspension. Right now it has cut springs. I really like the stance so I kinda wanna stay around same ride height. Should I use jeep springs, chevelle springs, lowering coils or coil overs. Kinda stumped here whats your opinion. Smooth ride that hooks is what im after

Re: rear suspension help
Drop coils. Jeep coils are a waste of money. Lowered my rear by about 1/2" and made the ride bouncy.

Re: rear suspension help
My buddy has a set of afco adjustable coilovers he said I could have if I wanted them. They are off his old bracket car. He no longer needs them. He says all the seals have been replaced and rebuilt. Im not sure if I should use them or not. Does anyone have experience with them on the street. Any feedback would be appreciated thanks

Re: rear suspension help
Drop coils work well. Has the frame been notched? Coil overs would work , but the lower mount would need some help. Good luck on your project , I'm just down the road (about an hour) ...still pretty cold up here, this board is very helpful , but those southern guys just don't know cold!
