Front Springs

Right now my 71 has Early Classic's 2/4" springs only drop. I want to bring it down another inch with blocks in the rear and in the front can I use 3" drop coils or will that be too much for just springs? I know I'll have to get it aligned again but how much would that actually change it? Thanks.....

Re: Front Springs

bump steer will increase a little, but a 3 inch spring drop is acceptible.
Now, if the money is there, you'll get a much better ride if you got 2 inch spindles, and 1 inch springs.
