Re: Lowering coil springs

Welcome to the site. The search function is a great tool for things that have been asked multiple times.
Here's my truck dropped 4-6 spring only, still has bumpstops, factory spindles and frame isn't notched.

Re: Lowering coil springs

i just cut a coil out of my front coils, and got some drop coils off ebay. But it really all depends on how low you want to go

Re: Lowering coil springs

Mine was 4.5" and 5" (2.5" spindles and 2" springs up front) for a very long time. I then went to 5.5" and 6" and am now waiting for my Accuair e-level setup to get here

I also have a c notch and aside from hitting a speed bump now and again I don't have any issues, rides nice too.
