I can't find a real easy kit for the 4 link or ladders, and the traditional spring idea may give me a bit more clearance underneath the vehicle. Its a 1951 chev pickup with a camaro IFS- so it sits down. I want a nice level ride- what to do? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 | i put new lowering spring kit from fatfendered, was so supposed to give a nice ride but still rides like a truck. wish i had gone to adjustable coil over about the same price. look at air ride technologies. ron

How did you install the camaro subframe? Just curious because I recently did the same to my truck.
