I have stock 85 and 87 SWB's. I am keeping the trucks all stock including factory wheels, but want to do a mild drop of 2/3. I hear spindles are the preferred method, but keep reading where a lot of trimming of the control arms are required and other interferences. I have also had the experience of a drop spindle shaft SHEARING OFF of my 90 SS while driving. I currently have 2.5" drop coils on my 98 Ram SS/T and it rides fine with no alignment problems.
So, my questions are: What are the cons against drop coils on my year trucks, how will the ride change, any clearance issues and other modifications required, do 2" drop coils drop it 2" or is it more or less, what are your experiences and opinions please, Thanks, Jeff
