Help! It's time to buy my coil springs
Should I go stock height or a 2 - 4 drop? (sorry, no slamming allowed) I've got a long bed that's going to be mostly stock in appearence. Please post pics of either if you have them.

drop it (a little)
I don't like them in the weeds either, but I do like to get rid of the "rake" angle where the rear sits higher than the front without a load. The new springs are still rated to carry your 3/4 ton.

I think it kinda depends on the truck. If its a completely stock truck with lots of options, then keep it stock. If its been modified or has very little options, then drop it.

I said 2/4 but, Like most of the guys that lower their trucks. There is a good chance you will decide. "Oh this isn't bad at all. I think i'll go a little lower now." Just make sure you think about it really hard. I know I was one of those guys that said. 2/4 is almost too much. Now i'm running a 4/6.
