AIM drop springs

I just purchased a used (installed & removed, never driven) pair of AIM 2.5" drop springs for my '70 Sub. Anyone ever used these w/ or w/o problems? My Sub has a rebuilt poly bushing disc front end last year & runs 275/60 on 15x8 truck rallys.

thanks!

i wouldnt put any AIM products on any truck, even if i were going to sell it to my worst enemy.

i had a 2.5/4" drop on my 82 for awhile. hangers were a b*tch to install, and had to be clearanced slightly to get the leaf springs to fit in right. the shackles were very cheap looking, and the rubber bushings were a joke. dont even get me started on the spindles.

I only used their springs, so I really don't know anything about any of the other parts.

Yep, shAIM products aren't very good.
