lowering ??? I'm new

How do you like the drop springs? Do they still work decent for haulin light loads? I haul engines around w/ my truck, that could be 500lbs. w/ transmission. Where is a good place to get these kits?

The drop springs are quite a bit lighter than the originals. They ride better than the old springs. I have not had anything in the back that weighed more than about 200 pounds since I installed them. I suspect they would be fine, though, especially if the load was pushed toward the front of the bed to transfer more of the weight to the front suspension. I doubt they would work well with a big load of lumber or towing much of a trailer, though.

My suspension parts are all Western Chassis. I bought them from http://www.performancesuspension.com. I first checked with http://www.sporttruckdirect.com, but they would not reply to several emails sent over a period of months. Performance Suspension had a toll free number, and answered all of my questions on the spot. I ordered from them because of that.
