Question One inch shorter front springs ??

I just installed a set of Bell Tech 2 inch rear shackles, it drives just fine, but I just don't like the looks. I now want to lower the front a inch maybee a inch and a half.

I did a search and found some info, but most of it refered to 2 inch lowering springs. I don't want a softer ride, or much firmer. What I want to do is keep the stock ride, but get the front end a little lower.

If anyone has lowered your front a inch or have any good ideas let me know.

Thanks
Don

This may be crude but I would just cut my stock springs for a 1 inch drop. Tampa did that to his stock springs for a 3 inch drop and it worked out good.

cost: $0.00

I've been thinking about doing it myself to get my truck just a little bit lower in the front end. about 1 more inch.

Don - you should've asked me for a ride on Sat. so you could have felt the hotchkis for yourself.

Thanks Guys

You got to love this board

I just ordered the Hotchkis 1" drop springs

If all goes well they will be on by friday in time for the racing friday evening.

I might even get the Cobra water pump on by then.

One way or a other I will be in the 12.5-12.6 range this weekend, even if I have to steal JR's slicks. LOL

they look cool too
