Question on front springs
My 69 Chevy 1/2 ton has the orignal springs in front with 2" drop spindles. I want to drop it another inch. I know the spings are probably week so it's lower then stock to begin with. So should I go for springs with a 1" drop or 2" drop.

I put a 2"/4" drop on my buddies 66 Chev and it only dropped it 1/2" in front and 3" in the rear. His old springs were original equipment. So I say go for atleast the 2" springs and possible 3". Your call

Anything over 2 on the spring and you start messin up the suspention geomitry. Bump steer and other nasty things.
