front coil springs
my 2wd 69 sits up pretty high in the back end and i really dont like the looks of it. i might try to get my mom or sister to put a picture of it on here so u got a better idea of what it looks like. but if i was to put say 3/4 ton coils up front how much will it raise. and will front coils out of a 73 and up truck fit the my 69. thanks

Re: front coil springs
If you're going to spend the money on new coils, why not put 2 inch drop coils in the back. That'll lower your rear end and even it out with the front and, in my opinion, will look better than a raised front end.

Re: front coil springs
I agree - don't get too clever - just put the lower springs on the back like MVD says. Easier and in the long run probably cheaper.

Re: front coil springs
If you put the lowering springs on the rear, you will alsoget better handlingdue to a lower centerof gravity...

Re: front coil springs
yea, that sounds like a good idea. it would be alot easier and that way i wont have to worry about messing with my front end alignment.
