McGaughtys 1" front lowering springs

I have 2.5 Mcgaughtys drop spindles and I need just a little more drop on the front to close the gap up some.

I had my truck aligned after the spindles.

I take it I will need another alignment after the 1"spring install?

Pretty much anytime you take the tie rods loose you'll need an alignment. You might get lucky though.

Hey take some good pics and post them in the lowered truck thread i got goin. Be sure to put tire a rim size.

Nice truck man

Just remember if your springs are original they may be sagging an inch already. So you might not notice much of a difference.
