Re: just installed front 3in lowering springs, why does it not look like it?

PLUS... The truck may have been a 6 cyl truck. So you may have old worn-out sagging 6cyl springs.
I always start out with the 2-1/2" spindle drop first. There have been a couple times that the drop spindle alone, with whatever stock worn-out saggy spring that was in there, was exactly the look I was looking for.
