Re: Part question

Cut one coil off your stock springs, your truck will ride better doing that then running actual drop springs.

I don't know if the mod's care, if so delete this, but Brother's is where this stuff is. I've never bought anything from them.

I just looked up the sale and I'm pretty sure that's where I got a pair of 2 inch fronts which I never used......to bad you already placed your order.....would have sold for maybe $75.00+shipping.

Anyway they look like good quality and I know I spent at least $130.00 for them.....anyone else out there interested let me know.
