3 Inch Drop Springs
Anybody running 3 inch front drop springs. I was wondering if 3 inch is to much for the suspension geometry. If so what is the maximum you can go with springs. They will be in addition to my 2 1/2 drop spindles. Also how low can you go without inner fender clearance problems. Would bag it but the cost is just to prohibitive.

I run 3 inch drop springs, I don't have any of the bump steer that everyone says I'm supposed to have.

3 inch spindle and 2 inch spring
I've run a 73-87 Belltech 3" drop spindle and a 2" drop spring on a 67-72 with no problems. I had a little tire rub on the inner fenders on the hard bounces only. Also, 215/70-15 tire on a 7" ralley. 245/60-15 on an 8' will work also,... 7's just tuck inside the fenders better.

I have heard that somebody makes blocks to bump out the upper control arms when you go with real short springs or bags to compensate for the negative camber. Anybody know anything about this
