I plan on using 2 1/2" drop spindles on the front and 3" drop coil springs on the rear. From everything I have read the original tracking arm will still function properly as long as the drop coil springs do not exceed a 4" drop. Can anyone confirm this is correct? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 | Just a note that I would be careful with which drop springs you get. A lot of drop springs use smaller diameter steel and have much less load carrying capacity. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 | The factory trailing arms, are still fully functional with 3" drop springs in the rear. I believe you must use lowering shocks, in conjunction with 2-1/2" front drop coils & 3" drop coils in the rear. Verify this with the drop coil spring provider. Good luck with your '65 Chevy truck project.
