what company makes a quality lowering coil for my 61 1/2 ton. i want to go about three inches. i have my front torsion bars cranked down about that far, i could measure to se exactly what i need. i am more concerned about what company to buy them from than the size. what is a god one? i wouldn't mind of the ride was softened a little either!

you could bag it, not using a compressor for a reasonable price then manually adjust it to any height you want (simular to the old air shock days but gives a great ride)

LMC sells lowering springs, as does most aftermarket vendors. Send for some catalogs, I look in the advertising section of old truck magazines to find the different vendors.

Seems like Classic Performance has about the best prices and really good selection of everything needed for lowering. Some stuff that you can't find elsewhere.

Mine came from Early Classic, great service fast shipping, little over $120. I used 3" in the rear looks good-takes the "tail up" look out.brian
