    Rookie Mistake Need Help

    Cool I would be happy with that if it drop another 1/2 inch plus when I moved the truck it was only rolled out 20 feet back and forth. I'm sure if I drove it up and down the street the suspension would possible settle more for me. Cool I'm feeling better now that it's getting closer. Thanks shawn

    Cool thanks for the information I'll double check on the coil spring part number but almost 100 percent sure it's the right one. Also the top of D part of the coil is correct. That last part about the truck moving around was going to be my big question. I pretty much set the springs and...

    Jknight your right the previous owner cut the front springs pretty good before I cut them. I bought the new ones and the drop coils so I can compare size differences.
