Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
thanks Twitchin R&C. about 9" drop just with the springs, and im going to guess close to about a 12" drop total with what i got and have done. i can check the measurement from the ground to the wheel well arch in the morning. think i only have a total of 3 coils left in the rear.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
Ok so if i remember right, the stock rear ride height is 34" from ground to wheel arch and my measurement is 22.5", so thats a total of a 11.5" drop in the rear. and it can still go lower lol.
