my 72 3/4 ton is just a real low budget deal for now. i want to lower it and i need a good way to drop the front a couple inches other than just cutting the springs. anyone know of a spindle that'll work. i've only seen them for 1/2 tons.

you can get 3/4 ton dropped spindles......but they are pricey! plan to pay around 2 time the price as a 1/2 ton drop spindle(ouch). I hate to say it, but the cheapest way is to lop a ring off the bottom of the coil spring. that shouldnt cause any problems.....or at least is hasnt for me. its about a 2 1/2"-3" drop
