weight, scales, handle

hello, I know these are trucks..
has anyone scaled these trucks at every wheel..
mine is a 71 long box v8 a/c
try'n to figure what lb springs to run. as I drop it a little. to get better handle'n don't expect it to run on rails with the stock set up..
have added a 85 3/4ton front antiroll bar and looking for an iroc rear bar.
thinking alittle stiffer spring while I drop it will help with turn in..
drop will be like 2" front..(3" from stock as there might be a 1" drop from 40y/o stock springs in it) there will be no rake.. front to rear..
and adj. shocks
this will be low buck, no new a arms/etc just springs/bars and shocks..
to get a nice turn in with a balance tail that you can throttle around when needed
ideas. cutting stock springs are on the table.. like say bbc a/c front coils..
to get nice turn in.. seems drop coils are kinda soft..(at least the trucks I've driven) and had lazy turn in.. and big understear
