where to buy lowering springs for the front end?

[whereyat]

does anyone still sell the progressive rate lowering springs for a f100, i am real close to cutting the stock ones, but i would like to replace them with progressive rate springs if they are still available anywhere. thanks

great, thanks for the info, and the link... do you know if these are shorter than stock or are they stock replacements? was looking for the ones that lower the front.. thanks, again, ed

those would be stock height.
not sure who sell's them for lowering but easy enough to cut a coil or two off.

Hey Whereyat,
Just want to make sure you're aware that lowering the truck in that manner will give you negative camber. Not trying to talk you out of it at all, just didn't want that to be a surprise after the fact.

Was thinking about this on the way to work this morning.

What if you were able to get the dimentions of the stock springs, (wire diamater, type of end, load rating etc) and find a spring 2-3 inches shorter?? In this way, you wouldn't effect the spring rate by cutting the coils, you just start with a shorter spring.....



just wondering

i cut one coil off my stock spring, so far it worked out perfect. i will measure in a couple of days after it settles and post how much it dropped the front end. my truck sat level or even a little higher in the front before cutting and actually had a little positive camber so it looks like everything is going to work out. if it settles too much or turns out to have too much negative camber i think i will look into finding a spring like suggested. thanks again for the input.
