I will have a set in a few days I will be installing a 2/4 drop on my cousins truck, its an 02 sierra reg cab, they should be the same springs, let me know if you want them for $20 dollars. I live in Alamo, TX.

hold up, do you mind me asking? Did you really cut the factory springs 5"? Doesn't that ride like absolute hell.
I'm digging everything else in your sig though. That is the exact cam and stall combo I want to run

Yeah bro, I did cut em like that. The ride is ok, I took off the bump stops and feels soft ride....in fact I hate it cause I would like my truck to have a stiff suspension for top speeding. The only thing I had to do was to shave my tranny cross member cause it was like 1" or little bit less off the ground......have you ever picked up street reflectors in a straight line?...Ouch!!!! Now I need to pick up a little more my y-pipe cause it's still hitting the ground, too.

Sorry this are the front coil springs. I might get rid of the rear leaf springs but untill I get the 4-link setup. If thats what you were looking for I'll let you know when I get them off the truck.
