Re: Raising a lowered truck up
On my '77, I used 3" spindles and cut the original springs down for the height I wanted, but it bottomed out a lot; it was way too soft.
I replaced them with 1-ton springs (as mentioned above), and trimmed them only enough to get the height that I wanted. Because they are stiffer, it didn't bottom out any more, and didn't ride worse at all.
Honestly, MANY lowering springs (for many different vehicles) are too soft for the amount of drop they provide. It is actually very good to go the 1-ton springs and trim them down to the height you want. They are stiffer, which is always good.
