What lowering spring should I buy. Cut springs aren't low enough
I want to lower the front of my truck more. Currently have Moog BB springs that are cut 1.5 coils. When I put the springs in new to replace the stock woren out springs, I cut them one coil and the ride was good. Now that I have cut more to lower the front more, I have reached the point of diminishing returns with the ride quality. I have shorter bump stops and I am not bottoming out.
Current suspension setup is CPP lowering spindles(2.5"), cut coils and a rear flip. Wanting to lower the truck another 1" in the rear and lower the front so it has the slightest rake. I think a 3" lowering coil will get me there or really close. Anyone have 3" springs that can comment on ride quality and which ones they went with? I searched but could not come up with any good answers. Thanks |
Re: What lowering spring should I buy. Cut springs aren't low enough
I dont have an answer for you but I am interested to know how much (or little) ground clearance you have on your LCA's. I run 2.5" drop spindles and 2" springs and it was ridiculous to drive so I swapped the springs for 1" drop versions and it made quite a difference.

I have 3" spindles and 2" springs on my 78. Always get the most drop from the spindle or LCA's as you can to preserve ride quality.
I have 3" springs on my 98 since they only make 2" spindles. They are western chassis springs are ride excellent. I'd go with them again in a heartbeat. |
