I need some 6 inch drop springs. I have 4 inch now. If anybody is interested in a trade that's good, also. If not I need to buy 6 inch ones.

thanks

if i were you i would just ad a set of 2" lowering blocks between the axle and trailing arms. thats what i did with mine to get 6" of drop total. improves ride quality over using just 6" springs and is cheaper.

I've got a set of 4" drop springs that I haven't installed yet. They are short, I would hate to see how short a set of 6" drops spirings are........Jerry

He just used a piece of 2x4 just make sure you use the pressure treated stuff.

NO Dont DO ThaT! I had a scrap 1 inch steel plate and just drilled 3/4 inch holes for the u-bolts. I have seen them for sale but not sure where.

they also have shims so you can adjust your pinion angle to a more realistic angle when you drop your truck.
