Re: EagleChief's 1971 Build Thread
Pretty cool you can blast at work! In regard to lowering the truck, there is always the free way. I ran around on heated springs for a few years and had zero problems. I used a torch, and carefully watched the amount of drop as the springs got hot. I alternated the heat on both sides of each spring to try and reduce total collapse of one side on the spring. I did the rear first, checking to make sure it was level before I went to the front. Obviously this isn’t the best way, but it rode the same, the alignment didn’t change, and I suddenly liked the way the truck looked. And it was free. I only lowered my truck 3 in the front and 4 in the back. I did mention free, right? No “finance manager” involved
