I'm 99% sure they're coils. I remember seeing coils when I was under the truck doing his underglow and exhaust.

Edit: confirmation! They are indeed coils. Just called him and had him look under there. He said the front and rear both have coil springs.

you need to be 100% bc that is very critical. If you have air then its gonna be expensive

there a $900 conversion kit....plus install...i have air all around and put the drop springs in my conversion kit...have to find out where im rubbing cuz the rear is lower than the front

I think the lowest you'll be able to find is a 2" drop for the rear. You can get up to a 3" drop in the front but I think 2" in the rear is the max, without going to bags.

Freeway- I wonder if the front will settle more than the back because of the weight of the motor and bring it down to the same height as the back?

Well I definitely don't want the front to sit lower than the rear like a skink bug.. I want it to sit level. Any way to achieve this?

I'm going to call them tomorrow and hopefully they're open...hopefully it's something simple to add to the kit...it's rubbing on the very edge of fender in the inside on both sides from seeing the rubbing marks...so hopefully a bushing or some type of adapter on top or bottom will be the answer
