If so, where did you buy them?
How did you like them?

I was after a softer ride, not so much a lower ride, it just worked out that way. You will loose travel distance, so speed bumps or pot holes will bottom out the springs on the frame rails pretty easy. I added longer shackles in front to raise the body back up. If shipping wasn't so high, I would send them back to be raised up. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 2,242 Herder of Cats, Goats, and Sheep (moderator) | | Herder of Cats, Goats, and Sheep (moderator) Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 2,242 | I am looking at them for my 58. I am doing a Napco build, but I don't want the front end lifted like they were stock. My plan is to get lowering springs for the front to bring the nose back down to a stock-ish height. | | |
