Hi All!

I'm curious what the best lowering spring is for the rear of my truck. I want to get a nice stance, but I still want to be able to use the truck.

I know that LMC has them, but how's the quality?

I wanna start tearing into the truck, but it might have to wait until after I get married next summer...

Thanks,

Kyle

Fort Knox, I ordered by springs through LMC and they came with CPP stamped on them....Quality is very good.

Single bolt top and bottom for each spring. I ended up replacing the spring caps due to rust but the swap is simple.

Be sure and buy the springs directly from CPP. LMC has a huuuuuge markup on CPP springs!

I posted data on the bad experience I had with buying springs from LMC here:

Just be sure to compare prices, 'cause CPP is much less expensive.
