Re: 3/5 Drop kits

Welcome to the form. I have a 3/5 djm kit under my 85. Lowering springs on front and flip kit on back. no c-notch. It doesn't bottom outand for a droped truck it rides rather smooth. The PO of my truck had it droped like Vagas said by cutting the front coil springs and heating the back left sping until they bent. I drove it 5 miles from where i bought it to my house and it felt like i was driving a log truck. So i would advise you to save up and do it right. I want to go 4/6 now something i wish i would have done when i was building the truck but like you i was trying to do it on a budget and wanted it back on the road asap so i opped for the 3/5. What i'm trying to say is if you really want to drop it using the spindles i would save up and get them. A lesson i learned. Good luck on your truck and post some pics when you get it droped.
