Does anyone know of a kit or a way to get a moderate drop in the rear without sacrificing spring stiffness. I've got an add-leaf already to help with the weigh of a shell, and I like the increased rigidity. Can't do a flip- the axle's already above the leafs. Ideas?? Also, if anyone knows where to get good deals on drop spindles for the front... the only one I found so far was Belltech.Thanks!

you could pull your leaf spring pack out and have them dearched at spring shop and you could go the cheap easy route and use a lowering block kit. the block kit you can get from belltech also

Try shackles for the rear, I have had pretty good experiences with them with out sacrificing ride quality.

as for the spindles I will pm you the link because I am new here and dont know the rules about posting links in the forums

he said the axle is above the leaves. If that's the case, blocks will work.
