How much drop?

Hey guys the guy that had this before heated up the rear coils. I like the stance but I'd like to know what size drop springs to get to keep the same stance.

Thanks,

Bryan

Use a 68-72 chevelle spring. They bolt right in and will level your truck fine>

So just get two rear springs from a chevelle? How do you know this if you don't mind me asking.

Measure from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender arc. Stock height on the fronts should be about 19" and 22" on the rears. This will get you pretty close.

How far do the chevelle springs drop it? I've seen some around pretty cheap. I'd rather go that route economically then go with regular drop springs.

Thanks,

Bryan

I'd say spending around $50 for a chevelle spring is a pretty good alternative to dropping $100+ for drop springs for sure, thats what I'm gonna go with.
