I've been shopping around for a set of used lowering leafsprings for a good price. I got a possible set, they are the Mcgauphy's 2' with about 15K on them and I can get them for $175 shipped to WI (coming from TX). Worth buying?

I have never really heard of someone swapping leaf springs on there truck. Why dont you buy brand new 2" lowering shackles for $50

I am going to agree. The only thing i have seen a different leaf spring for was lifting a 1500 a little bit in the rear.
P.S. sometime in the end of summer if i get a job we are going to have to throw down. Hopefully have a new motor by then

i have heard of people not liking the ride of drop leafs. do you already have drop shackles? being a Z71 does it have blocks in the back that you can take out? or have you already done that?
Sorry I should have been more specific on what I have done. I got 2" shackles and the overload leaf out. I removed all the 4x4 stuff (blocks, front driveshaft, diff unit, axles) and put 2500hd keys in the front to drop it 2". I'm looking to level out the rear now.

you might only get 1" from those drop leafs since you have already taken out your overloads. might want to look into hangers.....but they are a PITAOriginally Posted by 1_fastsilverado
I think you you will like them. If its still not low enough just take them and have them de-arched some more.

I use to have ground force 4" drop leafs on my truck; my truck handled like a racecar but rode like a dump truck!! I put 2" shackles and stock leafs back on and it rode a lot better, but I'm thinking of putting the drop leafs back on with a different shock. A buddy of mine has the hotchkis 4" drop leafs and his ride quality wasn't as bad as mine.
