ussaly with spindles or springs, sense they have coils on all fours (most of them) spindles cost around 250..... springs cost about 120
3/5 is probaly about the look you want ------------------ My Truck pictures www.xframeimpala.com 68 4x4 short fleetside 327 CH465 edelbrock intake and carb MSD distributor its the "SHAGROLET" 56 big window short stepside 235 dual 1 brls 64ImpalaSS 327 70 C10 LWB fleetside custom/10 350/TH350 IM me on aol SN= SHAGROLET

3/5 (3 inches in the front, 5 in the back) is the best looking combo I've seen. It definetly looks lowered, but still looks like a truck.
