Maybe check with Hotchkis...or worse case cut the springs...:Alchy:

Is the 71' a 2 door or 4 door? :dunno:

I did a 2 door a while back..

do a search for coil spring specialties they can make the springs for the ride height you need. we have used them in the past. its a much better alternitive to cutting them.
