can someone point me in the right direction as to where i can buy some aftermarket springs that wont lower my truck ( i already have drop spindles)

also ive been loking at some hotchkis parts.... they have 4 inch drop leaf springs? this means they are designed for our trucks with 4 inch drops, correct? does anyone have theses and whats different about them then the stockers.... any better performance

The hotchkis springs will lower your truck 2" in the front and 4" in the back. To my knowledge there aren't any springs to replace factory that keep the truck stock height.

im just talking about the rear leaf springs... the leaf springs cant just lower the truck, they would have to be de-arched like crazy to lower the truck...

they are meant to go WITH shackle or hangar drops right???

or am i wrong, do they actually lower the trucks and keep the stock hangar position?

The rear Hotchkis springs do lower the truck by themselves, just like any other drop leaf. If you put them in conjunction with a shackle/ hanger drop you would get an 8in. drop, providing you had a frame notch. They are set up different than the factory leaves by having a different spring rate and it is a progressive rate spring unlike the factory.
