WTB: Hotchkis 4" drop front springs

I mentioned this in another thread. i ordered a full 4/6 spring drop kit from Hotchkis, the fronts were missing so now I own the rears but need fronts.

After thinking of getting spindles, 3" front springs, or the hotchkis 4" spring I decided I want to try the full kit so does anyone happen to have the front 4" springs from Hotchkis they arent using?

Thanks
JonFrank

I have never seen a Front 4 inch drop spring???? Three inch is the most drop in a front spring I have ever seen???

That seems to be the consensus in the board. Hotchkis has a kit that offers 4" lowered front springs that they claim can be run with stock equipment. I talked to a gentleman on the board who has them that claims he likes the geometry that the "kit" offers. I also talked to a rep, I believe, for Hotchkis who swears that the truck can be aligned. I just assume that the specific spring rates make the 4" spring work. I am assuming though...

I have a brand new set of 4" Hotchkis drop springs. I think I am going to need the 2" drop springs because I am going to go with the CPP Modular drop spindle. Give me a call and we can talk. Kevin 828-448-1212
