Droppin' The Rear

Just wonderin if I go with 4" lowering coils in the rear

- am I going to have to remove the auxilary leafs
- get shorter shocks (mine are brand new)

Also here in Saskatchewan, Canada drop coils are $265 cad. (Belltech) where as air bags with brackets, lines and schraders are $495 cad. Is it worth forkin out the cash now and getting the bags?

I already installed 3" drop spindles in the front and it looks like the truck is a giant snow shovel. Just look at my pic.

Thanks

Re: Droppin' The Rear

Also I have a 2 piece drive shaft. Is it time for an upgrade?

i know the feeling on having a big rake on my 68 p/u i hate it

i myself would go with a complete front and rear air bag system but is very expensive but is a smooth ride. if your looking to go with coils try
Classic Performance Products and there web site is classicperfom.com

heres one of there front and rear coil spring kits that i copied from ther site and cost about $439.00 plus shipping!!!!
i hope this helps you in your search

I would check out Early Classic Enterprises (ECE). They have great service, quality products, and their prices are in-line.
