Isn't that a solid axle rear with leaf springs? If so, you would just need drop blocks to lower it.

[brodude]

so i do the drop blocks in the back what about the front know of any good tip for that?

[INDY510]

I used shortened 510 struts with coilovers in the front............. with 510 camber plates, and 510 T/C rods

 

 

The back can be sitting on the bumpstops and not look low enough.......... a 2 inch lowering block would require alot less cutting than the 3 inch lowering block..

Here is a pic of the back axle sitting on the bumpstops:

man your wagon looks awesome i may hit up up throughout my build for some suggestions if you don't mind

That wagon looks bad ass with those Panasports.

 

brodue.

Rota makes 16inch Panasport clones that are cheap. Maybe buy the wheels first then build the suspension around it to get the right look you want. But if you swap around struts the offset of the wheel might need to be changed.

im still not sur what i want to do with the wheels i really like mesh with a fat lip

Here is a pic with the stock suspension,,, and no weight in the back:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And my favorite pic: ... (the oil pan is 3/4" off the ground),,, and someday the rear will be low enough to level out the rockers

If your stock brakes are okay you can get lowering springs for your 710 struts..... or put coilovers on them and maybe shorten the strut tubes

 

You can also use any struts that fit in a 68-73 510...... i.e.: 280zx struts with better brakes, and ~1 inch shorter strut tubes,,,, the spring perch needs to be cut off though, and either weld on a 710 perch,, or use coilovers.

 

 

You can see in this pic,, the bottom strut is a stock 280zx strut and it is ~1 inch shorter than the stock 710 strut above it:

 

 

 

The top 2 struts are 71 510 struts shortened ~2-3 inches with Koni inserts,,, and coilovers with #225 springs ( a little too stiff,,, and WAY too low) the tires were rubbing with the coilovers raised all the way up
