Ok so i lowered my 64 chevy 1/2 short fleet like 6 months ago. I put 3" drop coils in front and 4" drop coils for rear. So the rear is higher than front. I just ordered 6" drop coils for the rear cause i want it to be lowered and i dont have to c-notch it cause it will still have almost 3" of clearance as long as i do not load the crap out of it... anywasy do you think with the 3/6" drop that i will even out the truck or will the rear be lower than the front?

It's easy enough to measure. Get out the trusty tape measure check things. I have no idea off the top of my head of that will sit even. Good luck.

You can always put a load assist airbag set-up in there to help "adjust" the ride height. I think JC Whitney sells them fairly reasonably. I like that idea because it goes in with your suspension rather than instead of your suspension,
