Moog 81114 Front Springs an 2.5" drop spindles

[DocZz]

This weekend i finally got my Moog 81114 Front Springs installed with CPP 2.5" spindles. I trimmed the metal stand beside bumpstop, trimmed and reshaped original rubber bumpstop. I still need to figure a proper front shock out for my application so I am open to suggestions. Rear is full QA1 coilover Moser 9".

Very Nice!

That's a great stance, are you going for an adjustable shock for street/strip?

Nice truck and looks super. Are you using your original brake hoses and if so any rubbing issues ?

I tried those same springs in my 72 C/10 with a big block and they were dangerously close to coil binding! I compared the lengths and the Moog 81114's were 1-1/2 coil longer than the factory 1/2 ton coils. I had a hell of a time even getting them in! Drop spindles dont require a shorter shock. A shorter shock is only necessary when shorter springs/coils are used. Stout stance, whats under the hood?

I agree these springs to be too so soft for big block but are fine with dropped spindles and 28/6/18 Mickey Thompson srs and small blk.
