Need more rear drop? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Among a bunch of other things this winter, I cut a full coil out of the front springs and put Jeep springs in the back. I was expecting a 2/4 drop. I think its' got too much rake and I'll have to try some 6" rear drop springs I have laying around. I like more of the level look. What do you think?

Here's what I did in the front: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=567843

What jeep model springs did you use? And did you put the adjustable panhard bar in?

Definitely the 6" rear springs especially since you happen to have some layin' around. Subscribing for the update pic.

Yup I think the 6" springs will go in. This is a budget build as I plan to flip it. So, I hope this doesn't snow ball with adjustable trac bars, shocks, shock relocators, spindals, lowering blocks, etc.... I'd have more into it that it's worth!

Oh the springs are from a '95 Rubicon. My buddy at work lifted his Jeep and these fell in my lap for the cost of lunch. No other rear mods.
