Best Place to buy Rear Heavy Duty Lowering Springs?

My Friend Who I sold My 68 to would like to lower the back 2-3 inches But he would like to still be able to haul a trailer althou he doenst plan on but it would be nice to not have a jet ski lay it on the ground.

I got mine from AIM and i think they had heavy duty I figured someone might know of a better deal As i recall mine were 59 or 69 Bucks.

If you're willing to spend 119 bucks, ECE has good ones.

My truck has ECE 6 inch rear springs and I pull trailers a lot. I have also hauled a fully dressed 454 and turbo 400 in my bed with no bottoming out at all. All this with a 6 inch drop spring, I'd imagine a 2-3 inch spring would be even better.

I have written down aims price and P/N Mother truckers price and ph # and godfathers p/n for blocks

I have some blocks i might just give him and let him get u bolts for them Kinda Up To him

Ive yet to find anywhere that claims them to be heavy duty .. I swear i recall reading on a website somewhere where they had the option of standard duty and heavy IN a lowering spring.

Thumbs up

Unlike everyone else selling drop springs we have for about the last 2 years had all of our drop springs custom made for the truck they were bought for, it takes on average 5-7 working days before they ship from the manufacturer as each set is custom made at the time you place the order. We find out if truck is a SWB or LWB, motor size, transmission, A/C or Non-A/C, & if its a Fleetside or stepside. They then take the information we give them and determine the weight of the truck and they then build a matching set of drop springs specifically tempered and tailor made for your specific truck.
There is no grabbing a set off the shelf pre-made with everyone receiving the same set of springs as the next guys truck like everyone else does when you buy from us.

How much do you tow with that 6" drop?
I was considering using the '67 truck to tow the Camaro but would have had to go with a rear bag setup do do so.
