Re: Another Lowering spring question
Are you talking front or rear? What year truck, and how are you getting the 2" drop. More details will help a lot in giving the correct answer.

Re: Another Lowering spring question
You might be ok with the stock shocks for now. Anything lower and you will be better off with a replacement shock that specific to your drop.
The 97 suburban and 88- 98 chevy spindles will not work. You need 73-87 truck, 73-82 Blazer, or 73-91 Burb spindles. You will alos need to watch for standard duty with 1" rotors, and heavy duty with 1.25" rotors.

Re: Another Lowering spring question
If you cut the front coils one coil will it drop it one inch? I need to drop mine one inch.

General rule of drop when cutting used coils for 63-87 trucks is 1-coil = approx 2" of drop.

Re: Another Lowering spring question
Thanks, I will have to take the front end apart again and cut the coils. I am really getting tired of this.
