Front 4” lowering coil springs

[50bomb]

Anyone use western Chassis front 4” drop springs? My 1965 Chevy truck has a front 1975 c10 stock suspension. My truck was a c20 and I had originally put gmc Paul’s 3/6 kit on specifically made for c20 but I ended up putting a 71-72 c10 rear and I did keep the 6” springs in. I was told 63-72 springs won’t fit 73-87 . I rather go a lil lower in front 4 and keep my 6 rear is just a nice touch. Not really wanting drop spindles. Anyways performance online isn’t far from me and I could buy them there.

I have a 1972 C10 with 4" drop springs from the previous owner.

This is just my experience but I have a lot handling issues with the front end. It hits the bump stops and also gives a lot of bump steer issues.

I'm currently swapping the 4" springs for 2.5" drop spindles and 1.5" drop springs hoping to fix the front end issues.

never rode in 4" drop springs but from years of wrenching no way would i do this for many reasons .

split it up with drop spindles and coils . help each share the work load and make alignments much more easy to set .

I don’t know why they sell them that low at performance online. I don’t see any reviews on them. I will most likely just get some 3” lowering springs.

I was thinking about these.

The springs probably arent the issue with the handling. Sounds like the front end needs to be rebuilt.
On one of my trucks I run 4" springs and 2.5" spindles and it rides fantastic. This is without a sway bar so far.

Yea I am rebuilding the front end. I’m just going to try them out and let everyone know how it goes.
