I'm looking to compile a list of all the lowering springs available to the 83-97 2wd rangers.
I'm looking for the free length and possibly spring rates.

This is what DJM tech email me....

We do not sell spring for beam trucks they never work out and are a bad product. If you really want to do it right use lowering beams

Interesting. Did they ever sell drop springs for beam trucks? I would've sworn that they did in the past. Maybe my memory is just bad though.
