Anybody??????????????????

The reason I ask is that I'm tired of the drop coils. I've already replaced my tie rod ends twice, because they were worn. I'm looking to go with a lower control arm or drop spindle( if I can find anyone who makes them for the NBS)

Yea. They ride well. I'm just tired of replacing my tierod ends( this will be my third time). Personally I don't like the dropped coils. I'm a bigger fan of dropped spindels then lower control arms. I already have a set of new stock coils to put on. I seem to only find the lower control arms for the NBS. I'm just looking to improve on what regency started.

From the pic in your sig it looks like a 2/2 drop... The front tire is pretty close to the fender...

I'll trade you stock coils for your coils...

DJM will make your Control Arm with Beltech and McGaughys making your Spindles...

Edit- Its a Ground Force 1/3 drop...

It's only a 1" drop up front?? That surprises me. I would have thought it was a 2" as well. Thanks.

Well, Im almost positive they use the same coils for the REG Cab and the EXT Cab... So, the Ext cab will sit a little lower I guess cuz of weight...

If you want, you can measure the center of the wheel to the fender... Then we can compare... I have 2" drop Spindles...
