Hey guys looking for some help here. I am about to rebuild the front suspension on my 67 malibue. I think i have made up my mind on front springs I want to buy the 2" lowering springs from OPG, but they say it will drop it 2" from stock ride height, problem is my springs are old and worn out so I dont know what "stock ride height" is. Will 2" inches be enough for a lowered with a rake look I am going for and what if any back springs can I use, the back tires are going to be 275/60 on a 15 inch rally from what I have seen they will tuck in nicely without any modifications in the back. So I need some input, what is STOCK RIDE HEIGHT in the front and will 2" really make enough difference for my lowered rake look. Thanks in advance for all ya'lls help.

If you use the 2" lowered in front and "stock" new rear, you should have the rake, but likely be a little higher all around than currently, due to the older springs...

The stock ride height is usually pretty high. There should be dimensions listed in the Assembly Manual for the stock ride height. These dimensions depend on model and equipment, but most corrections are listed in the manual...
