Peppertreegarage. I am using Brothers 4 inch drop springs, in relationship with their drop shocks. It was a kit they sold years ago when I did this. Front and rear 4 inch drop springs, drop shocks, and a adjustable pan hard bar.
Steeveedee, That's true, I grew up in the 60ties too, was just a lad, but did see some scary stuff. The only way the wiggling springs would be a issue on the road was if I was air born. And if that's the case, I got far more worries than springs that wiggles.
Let me qualify my term "wiggles' When the truck is in the air, wheels dangling, I can move the springs by hand maybe 3/4 of a inch. There is no up and down movement. The springs stay in their pockets, but can be moved. It was the first time lowering a vehicle, and always wondered if moving springs was normal with a lowering kit.
Thanks for the replies guys.
