Thinking of going to the 2" drop spindles on 55 2 dr hdt. Does anyone have before and after pics showing how much diffence it makes?
 
I put on 2 in spindles and it wasn't low enough FOR ME! The 1st pic is 2 in drop spindles and 1 full coil removed(original 6 cyl coils). The 2nd pic has 2 coils removed and 2 in blocks in the rear. I LOVE THE STANCE! It doesn't ride too harsh, but getting a jack under it really sucks!!!

What do you have in the rear for springs?
What is the distance from ground to top or rear wheel wheel?
I need to lower the rear and I have 5 leaf springs and thinking
about something for the rear. Yours looks just right.
 
Here is another before and after set. The after is with 2" drop spindles and the QA1 bolt-in coil-overs. The spindles alone didnt get it low enough for me either. In the back I have the 5-leaf springs or at least I did. I removed the bottom small leaf and have 3" blocks. I also changed the tire sizes and the front wheels to stop it from rubbing the fenders.
