    Exclamation Drop coils quesion?!

    Right now I've got 2" mcgaughy's drop spindles up front and 2" shackles and 2" hangers out back. Surprisingly the truck set's a noticeable amount lower in the rear, especially under any kind of acceleration. I've looked around a bit, but haven't went crazy searching. I was wondering if you guys knew of any GOOD 1" drop coils on the market? I don't want to raise the rear up, I just want to bring the front down a bit to level it out, or even bring the front down just a hair more than the rear is.

    they're pretty soft though, right? I'm wanting a stiffer/sportier ride so I can throw it around some corners too.

    those aren't coils bud. lol That is a coil-over system that completely eliminates the stock coil spring and shock. I am wanting to stick with the stock coil and shock type set-up, just looking to drop my front end an inch or so, but no more.

    You could probably get away with cutting them which is what I'm planning to do for my 1/2 drop. You could also get a 2inch drop coil with a 1inch spacer. The other option is those sexy coilovers Jon posted, man I would love to have those.

    Yeah, those are super sexy coil-overs... but I'm not trying to spend that much just yet. haha. If I were to cut my coils, how much would I need to cut to achieve a 1" drop?
