I would search auto and truck springs in your phone book. I have a guy who specializes in springs and he re arcs mine and they last years. Ive never done a lowering project but ive heard the name Bell tech tossed around here alot i would check into them or google "lowering kit chevy pickup" and see what you come up with, and it aint gonna be cheap

Husky springs makes correct OEM replacements and custom springs.

Ive seen lower leaf springs in LMC, i dont kno the quality never had or knew anyone that had them. I think there quite pricey tho but ill have to check

I got mine from airbagit.com, 3"lowering and I hauled all kinds of stuff even a ton of shell a bunch of times. A set from there is like 190.00, I only ran mine 2 years, now there sitting in the garage collecting dust............maybe I should sell them?

You can buy lowered ones from Western Chassis. I have had them on my truck for about 5 years. I would make sure that I knew why the truck sat crooked before I bought anything else, though, if I were you.
