Drop Coil Springs

I got my truck down to bare frame and im wanting to get some drop coils to lower it, can I just get 2 inch front drop coils and 4 inch rear drop coils with some drop shocks and that would be enough or will I need other parts? Also what are some good places to buy these, I found a place on ebay that sells them pretty cheap but I worry that cheaper coils would eventually break leaving me in a dangerous situation if driving. Im a newbie when it comes to these trucks so sorry for any stupid questions lol

Here is the link to the ebay coils http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-72...spagenameZWDVW

Re: Drop Coil Springs

If you do the 4inch rear coils you will need an adjustable rear panhard bar to compensate.

Re: Drop Coil Springs

4inch rear springs you should get the adjustable panhard bar,shorter shocks and shock relocation hit for the best possible ride// if you're putting new front springs i think its foolish not to also replace the balljoints while it's apart also an alignment or tires will wear poorly

Good point about the rear shock relocators, it's been so long since I did mine the memory is fading
