WTB 2" front & 4" rear drop springs
Looking to buy any used 2" front drop and 4" rear drop springs in good condition. Any brand is fine. Can Pay-pal if needed.
Thanks! Gary

Re: WTB 2" front & 4" rear drop springs
Gary - 2" aftermarket drop springs vs. Your stockers is probably only going to yield a net drop of about .75" spring rates, etc. I learned the hard way.. I used CPP springs and I ended up taking .5 turn out of them.
Just trying to save you some work. It rode pretty rough too. Drop spindles will make you much happier with your truck overall.

Re: WTB 2" front & 4" rear drop springs
Thanks! I appreciate the heads up on that. Trying to save a little coin, but if it's only gonna bring the front down an inch... I might just save up a little to get the drop spindles.
When the truck was on the '72 frame it had rear leaf springs. 2" drop shackles and removing the overload springs only got me down about 1.75" in the rear. So my dada and I just heated the front coils a tad to bring the front end down about an inch. Now it's sitting on a coil sprung '69 frame. I want it to be just a little lower than what I had before. The front coils in the current '69 frame are a bit wonky and will need to be replaced even if I do use drop spindles. LOL... Gary
