I would put air bags in the rear coils and raise the rear to match the front .

Be careful of raising the rear, that does all sorts of bad things to the geometry, which WILL cause wheelhop.

Generally, 1/2 coil = 1" of drop, but that's not always going to be 100% accurate.

Thanks for the info Derek! Gonna give it a whirl on Sat. & I'll post some before & after pics......I'll leave the rear where it is, if I can get the front low enough.

A friend of mine has a 72 Chevelle with a smallblock. He cut one full coil off and it dropped the front end 1.5". He said it rides and handles great.
