Re: lowering 1972 lwb
A 3"/5" spring drop would be the cheapest.
The front won't go much lower with a 15x10 wheel.

Re: lowering 1972 lwb
Welcome to the board from SC.
There's a few ways to go about lowering your truck from cheap to not so cheap!lol I've lowered alot of these truck buy simply cutting 1 complete round out of the bottom of the front springs and making up a set of 2" blocks for the rearend and that will put you at about a 2" drop on all 4 corners and have your truck setting level also. The other option is to buy 2 1/2 drop spindles and drop springs for the rear. Depending on the drop you want you can also buy drop springs for the front to go with the spindles, I would'nt advise going any lower than a 2" spring up front because the shorter springs drops out of the spring bucket when the truck is being jacked up! jmo..........
