I'm looking for a easy/ cheap way to drop the front end of my 42' half-ton. Eaton Springs wants $449.00 a side for 3" drop springs. Don't want to do Mustang or Bags to $$$$. Looking to work with the springs. What have people done in past?
Thanks,
Mark in Socal

an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

That will usually drop the front end a couple of inches. You can also look into having your stock straight axle dropped 2 to 3 inches in combination with removal of the leafs. Removing the leafs is free and having your axle dropped is about $400. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 78 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 78 | Whatever you choose, if you don't use the original front springs and you also want to lower the back end, take your old front leafs and put them in the rear, it'll give you 3-4" of drop.
