Whay would you suggest for a lowering front spring? I'm planning on shackles and hangers on the back. So 4" and want to bring the front down 1.5-2" don't really want to do beams. Just looking for a spring.

Guys seem to recommend Moog cc818 springs but from what I can tell thats what comes stock on my truck...lol

89 2wd rcsb 4.9 5speed.
Yep, a dead thread.

Belltech Part #: 924SP - 2"/4" with shocks. Not cheap but it works.

Dead thread but people are looking at it so that works lol and technically I do have an 89 that I'm lowering.. Was hoping thumper was still around.
I have a set of drop shackles ordered and these are the brackets and beams I found at the local junk yard. Pulled the hangers yesterday and going back for the beams. Sand blast them and paint. I think I can run the stock front shocks where I'm still using stock coil spring. Then just need to find a shorter shock for the rear.
