lower and load springs
I'm looking in to buying belltech 2"drop spindle and 2"shackles but want a little more in the rear. I have cal-tracs all ready I have read you have to modify the 2" drop hanger to keep my cal-tracs. So i was thinking for removing my load spring to get a litte more. What would be the pros and cons of the load spring. I would like to see pics of the hanger modify if someone has any.

Removing the overload will get you close to one more inch of drop, and the disadvantage to doing it, is axel wrap. but you have caltracs already so it wont be an issue.
from what i hear it will ride smoother and your getting rid of a decent amount of weight
