Default 1” lowered Spindles

Sup guys, I have a 2000 silverado 1500. Does any company make a 1” drop spindle. I’m I stuck with just getting a coil spring? I just don’t want the ride to be stiffer. Thanks Vince

No. It’s going to be a 2in spindle.

I guess ride quality is a personal preference. I prefer a more controlled, stiff ride.

Of course, shocks play a large part in that.

Yeah that’s what I thought. Which company makes the best coil spring for my truck?

Belltech makes a good spring. There are other vendors. It’s really about where you want to spend your money.

How accurate is the drop. The thing with springs too is they might be lower or taller then are advertised. With a 1” spring I should be able to keep the front shocks correct. I’ll just need a wheel alignment. Thanks for the replies

Never heard of someone wanting just an inch drop... add a second battery or eat a Big Mac once a day for a month or two. But seriously why only one inch?
