Re: stiffest lowering springs?
ACME has the stiffest I believe.
 J/K. I'm not sure. I'm assuming your talking coil springs. I think they will all be about the same. If I was guessing I would say Eibach probably had the most performance oriented springs. Everyone I know that has had a set has really enjoyed them.

Re: stiffest lowering springs?
I bought a set of McGaugheys and they were horrible, way too soft. Truck bounced like a super ball. Bought a new set of stock springs, cut 1 coil, problem solved.

Re: stiffest lowering springs?
You could move your spring bracket back to use 1 ton springs.

Re: stiffest lowering springs?
I have 2" DJM springs on mine..and they are far too mushy for my tastes. I'd stick the stocks back in after some cutting, but I don't feel like busting the front end apart again.

Re: stiffest lowering springs?
