Re: 6" front drop question

Ooooh man, am I furious!

I called STD, basically I am screwed because I installed the coils! No refund or exchange..he did offer me a discount on shocks...

This guy insist that the Western Chassis springs are rated/designed based on engine size. As an argument point from his side, he swears that my 1" Bell Tech (BT) springs are 1" springs for a small block, but they are 3" springs for a big block. I told him BT doesn't specify a difference based on engine size, he said "Yes they do"...but his "book" doesn't break it down that far.

My truck sat exactly the same, regardless of engine size...there is no way my truck sat 2" lower than it did just because I put in the big block.

He then tried to turn it around saying it was my fault I didn't tell him I had 1" BT springs from the get go...he said he could have figured out the correct spring for me based on that info. This coming from the same guy who insist my truck now sits 2" lower than it did once I put in the big block. I have pics to prove it doesn't!

So, moral of the story...DO NOT ORDER FROM SPORT TRUCK DIRECT! I have been burned by them twice, that's enough!
