Suspension Company's

Has any one ever dealt with brothers trucks.com? I am looking to order 4 inch rear drop coils and shocks, but wondering what I need to get to drop the front. I want to drop it 3 inches. I know I should do the drop spindles, but need to save the duckies to do the disc brake conversion.

Re: Suspension Company's

Lots of people have used 3" drop springs with no issues. If I had the money it would be a combo drop using spindles and springs, but if you are unsure what direction you are going right now I would just cut some coils until you decide for sure. No sense in spending money twice.

I have read in the threads that if I cut 1 1/2 coil it would give me about 2.5 in drop. Is this true. I plan on running 235/75/15 on all four tires

I think all trucks are different, I have a 66 with a 350 and cutting one coil gave me 2 inches of drop.

Re: Suspension Company's

Remember, converting to disc requires you to change the spindle.
