I've heard of variable rate...but not variable drop coil springs

just shows they aren't engineered to use on our trucks

Did you ever get a level ground to fender lip measurement with the springs installed? Because that looks more like a 2-2 1/2" drop. A 6" rear drop has the rear fender lip within an inch of the tire...that looks to be 3-4" from the tire...

Its unlevel ground, no i didnt take measurements.

It'll drop these trucks cheap but save your $ and just get a dropped spring
