heating up my springs..

[travisfraughton]

a previous owner heated the springs on my truck before I bought it, and I drove it that way for years. I never liked the way it drove, and eventually bought some stock springs and brought it back up. I do like the look dropped down, but would not advise heating them. buy the right drop springs, maybe cut em, I've not driven on cut springs personally so I can't say how they drive but I've heard good things.

My 68 was lowered by cutting the front springs and heating the rear. Now that Ive got the truck apart completely Im going with drop spindles and stock springs on the front and shorter springs on the rear.
The truck rode hard when I got it---the rear was bouncy and dropped to the stops with any weight on it. I liked the height--but not the way they did it.
