I just lowered my 68. Used lowered shackles and hangers. Bolted on real nice. Can't speak for your current situation, but if you round up the shackles and hangers and put (probably) different springs on you should be in shape!

FYI- it supposed to lowere 4" on rear to make the truck level with the 3" lowered on front.

SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!

Might try contacting Carolina Classics ((919) 682-4211) and ask about the mono leaf rear spring set up.. cost about $400 bucks but you can lower the rear anywhere from 2.5 to 5 inches depending on which spring you order.. I have talked to them about my '64 and this set up...
