A Shot in the Dark......

I know that I'm grasping at straws here, but was wondering if anybody had any 2" or 2.5" drop spindles for a 72 Chevy that they might want to part with? I'm also interested in any advice you guys have on lowering a truck with a leaf spring rear. I know there are many options (flipping the rear end, specialized lowering leaf spings, or just taking leaves out). Just want some feedback on difficulty, cost, ride comfort, or anything else. Thanks in advance......

Hey I have Advice on the rear lowering.

Take the springs out and have them dearched and get a drop shackle for 1.5 inch. If you want more. Or if you are made of money buy new drop leaf springs.

I droped the rear on my truck by a 3" dearched and a 2 " drop shackle. The shackle hit's the bed floor. (I have a wood floor) 2" will be fine if you have a steel floor.

Good Luck
