Thumbs up Drop ????s for a 69 lwb

so I have a project going. And I'm looking at getting 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and 2 inch drop springs in the front. And 4 inch drop springs in the back. Will this give me a level drop?

Any pics of this drop?

And also where would be the cheapest place for these parts or any parts

Re: Drop ????s for a 69 lwb

2.5 front and 4 in the back will level it out but adding the 2 inch drop springs will keep the front end lower than the back. If you check Early Classics website you'll get some stance examples but I don't think they have a 4.5 /4. Hope this helps.

You will have to take it to get it aligned. Unless your frame is tweaked a 2" coil drop in the front can be adjusted with shims.
