I know you guys hate seeing these trucks lowered this way. but with a 3 month old my budget is extremely tight. these springs were given to me. this is not my DD so hauling a load is not an issue. thank you guys in advance for any comments made. also my truck is 67` swb 2wd.

I read that they were supposed to lower your truck around 4" in back. They didn't lower it at all for me, was a waste of money. They are not any shorter, just less of a rate and flimsy, made the truck bounce. Since you have a set, try them out and see if they work for you.

They may or may not lower it at all and don't plan on carrying anything in the back. You are MUCH better off saving $99 and buying some CPP springs.

The springs I have, have the pigtail at one end and a bigger opening at the other end. Are these the correct springs to use? Thanks again for comments and advice
