Best Drop For my Budget?

[64chevtruck]

for that much coin your looking at drop spindles and heated/cut springs in front, and heated/cut springs in back with lowering blox. Get it all at Ebay,

Heck...get some 3/2 drop springs an you'll be good!

To cut a coil is OK, to heat a coil bad. Rear coils can't be cut because of coil cups. There are those who run this but how safe is a coil not bolted in? I say Ride Tech rear bags with schrader valves for adjustment and 2" coil front. Save up for brakes and drop spindles.

100% disagree...............I have had cut rear springs for over 17 years on Many trucks...Never an issue.
Maybe what you mean is drop springs are Better then cut springs.

What I mean is the rear being cut leaves the coil unable to bolt back to trailing arms. So if you hit a bump or encounter a situation where the rear shifts this would be unsafe. Right is right and cheap is not always safe. I have seen bad judgment go wrong. Heating springs bad idea. I have run cut coils on the front but does stiffens ride.

you can cut the rears if you wanted i did on one of my trucks I cut the coil from the top and then used a u-bolt and drilled 2 holes in the frame and bolted the top of the spring to the frame was nice and secure...not the cleanest or prettiest install but did the job and got the truck lowered with cut rear springs safely until i had the funds to air bag the back..
