3 inch dropped springs?

Well it looks like the dropped spindles and 2 inch dropped springs is not enough (for me anyway) on my 67. Would like to go another inch. Can't seem to find 3inch dropped springs anywhere. Is that too much?

The other option I have is some old "So-lo" 2 inch lowered A-Arms that I have on my 72 (almost a parts truck now). They are modified stock A-Arms with a lowered spring bucket... some people talk about problems with 15 inch rims and dropped spindles & A-Arms. Do you think there would be a problem putting these on with 1 in dropped springs (technically the same 5 1/2 drop)?

I have 3" ground force springs on my 69. You can get them from summit, I think they were listed under 73-87...

6" static drop will be fun. No inner wheel wells right?

Re: 3 inch dropped springs?

Take a look at (CPP) Classic Performance Products; they offer a 3" drop spring for your year of truck.

Part Number FCS61023 1963-72 Coil Springs front 3" drop, pair $95.00



I am looking at a 2 1/2" drop spring to go with my 3" drop Bell Tech spindles for my "Beast". It has a 68 frame and an 87 Chevy truck front cross member mounted in it. I have a set of 1" drop springs with it and the 4" is not enough for the right wheel well space.

Summit springs are Ground Force brand, and they don't charge shipping. That's good because springs are very heavy. You should be able to get a set to your door from them for under 90 bucks total.
