Lowering a 64 lwb fleetside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have read on this forum , but can't find the post about using CJ Jeep springs for lowering. I have a set of Jeep springs but can't recall if you replace the front and back springs with the Jeep springs or just the rear. If anyone can help me it would be helpful since I am ready to do some lowering.

I have read about people using Jeep springs to lower the rear, havent personally dont it though. However being an avid offroader CJ springs are leafs. The ones people on here refer to are TJ springs which are coils.

I must have TJ because they are coil springs. I got them from a shop that puts lift kits on Jeeps.

66-72 Chevelle rear coils work too for the rear

I already have the Jeep coil springs. Need to find out if they will also work on the front
