Re: Suspension Help!?
is this a coil spring truck with the optional quarter leaf overloads or is it a leafspring truck with heavier leafs??
if coil spring truck discard the overloads and get drop spings if leaf spring truck you can remove some leafs and do a flipkit

Re: Suspension Help!?
spent the money and buy a lowering spring kit if the springs are not cut right it makes driving it very unpleasant
