Where I want it

2 inch springs in front. 2 inch spring hangars, 1 inch on the 2 inch shackles. I think my next step might be the spindles instead of the springs...

Re: Where I want it

My preference is "always" spindle first, then spring. I usually try cutting the stock coil after I install the drop spindle to see what I need. If the height is where I want it, then I call it done.

Re: Where I want it

Well I got these spring from a friend, ON HERE. I paid 50 bucks for t hem and they are NEW. If I decide to go with the 2inch spindles, I will put factory springs back in and spread the fortune. I will sell the 2 inch springs for the same 50 bucks. No money lost. I had to get the back down where I wanted it to make sure t he front was where I wanted it.
