Lowering a 74 snb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

stllookn · 08-28-2001, 12:17 AM

Any suggestions on the least expensive method for lowering a 74 snb 3/5? I see the springs and flip kit for $199...is that it? I guess it is just a much stiffer ride is that correct? Eventually I would guess the drop spindles and a "c" notch would allow more suspension travel and a more forgiving ride for a lot more $. Thanks, any help will be appreciated.

i think you basicly answered your own questions..... the cheapest way is to cut your springs but i DO NOT recomend that... better to spend the $$$$$ in the long run

My truck was stolen and I have some of the lowering components still at home with no truck. I have some 2.5" drop coils, and a flip kit. My truck was a standard cab 87. If they will fit, you can have them cheap. lewimt@raytheon.com

Yes, I would be interested. I am in the middle of fixing my wife's van...hate those things. No room to work! When done I would like to discuss what you have and price.
