Default Mcgaughy's lowering springs

Whos got them? How do you like them? How is the ride quality?

Thinking about purchasing a set of the 2" drop leaf springs for my 2001 ecsb. Currently it is sitting on lowering keys up front and 2" drop shackels out back with the blocks and overload springs removed.

Romney has them on his SSS. It rode okay after we did the C-notch, but it's a little stiffer than the stock springs. Before the notch, the axle was constantly banging against the frame.

Also had to modify one of his crossmembers, the driveline was almost touching it at static height.

How low was his drop? I figured id probably have to c notch but the plan was to buy the 2" leafs and then raise it up 1" on my shackels.

You may recognize the truck. The first pic is from when he bought it.

I have hotchkis 2" drop front coils and McGaughy's 2" drop leaves with 2" lowering shackles. My *** end still sits higher than the front, but i think the front coils actually settled with a greater than 2" drop. The ride is great, no complaints. I will try to get a pic but my phone canera is full and i have to delete some photo before i can take new ones.
