can u just replace the front springs with some from a 4 cilender a smaller truck and in the back put the axl over the leaf springs

Answer 1

you can change the springs but use the one from a 6 cyl. not a 4 cyl.and you want to change the shocks you will want something shorter from a car or the shock wont allow it to drop make sure you have enough clearance for your tire not to rub and if this is a small truck that is 6 cyl then you can use 4 cyl springs do not cut off your springs if you do they will not stay in place

Answer 2

Put everyone on your street in the back and in the cab....tee Hee Hee...That should get you a couple inches. I would cut the front springs and buy the cheap leaf spring blocks for the rear....check ebay

Answer 3

If you heat the springs, they will compress but they will lose some of their properties. If you cut them they will be shorter but still have all of strength , or if you want put in shorter springs from another smaller pickup with the same dia. spring.

Answer 4

Yea, heating will work till you hit a bump and they fly out from under you. You can get a clamp at Auto Zone to compress them or cut a coil off (not recommended)

Answer 5

If you like buying tires you can listen to all the other posts! if your like me and don't like to waste money spend the dough and get a real drop kit for your truck.

Search for your vehicle in google or yahoo search engine or pick up a minitruckn or trunkn magazine ... ad's all over in the magazines.

Answer 6

yea or take a cutting torch to the springs and heat em up so they compress... very classy!

Answer 7
