got a '66 shortbox fleetside that was lowered by the previous owner, front springs were torched 4" and a 4 inch spacer under the rear springs or trailing arms, looked cool as hell but the front springs allowed only 1" of travel between the lower control arms and the frame. every little bump and the tires would hit the inner fenders, not a nice ride at all, I took out the springs and put in 1" shorter front springs, 2" lowered drop spindles and disc brakes, she's lower than stock and still has a decent ride.
