April 6
More work done over the weekend.
Truck already had drop spindles so I added MOOG 6454 coils and cut 1.5 coils. From what I have read and Scotty's (owner of Tejas SteelWorks) recommendation, this is way better than any drop spring out there. Also the rear drop was achieved by taking leafs out and adding 2" shackles. I added the leafs back and did a flip kit. Keeping the 2" drop shackle. Just finished last night so still haven't driven her.
