Front Lowering Kit Question...
OK, first let me say that I've done the search "thing". A lot of my questions were answered finding them on other threads, except one.
I already have Ground Force's 2" drop shackle kit for the rear. I also want to lower the front of my truck 1", maybe 1.5". What I want to know is if any company out there makes a complete strut "assembly" to do just that.
I know Belltech has the adjustable strut kit, but utilizes the stock spring; or buy Belltech's shorter lowering spring. Bilstein struts are similar.
What I'm looking for is an all-in-one--a new strut & spring already together for a quicker, simpler () replacement.
I'm definitely not interested in taking everything out, then having to go to a shop to compress the springs to remove from original strut, and recompress to put on new strut, then blah blah blah.
Seems like someone out there would have a whole assembly out there for just such a project....

As far as I know, no one makes an assembly. If they did, I doubt they would make it that little of a drop. Buy used springs on craigslist and get the Belltech adjustable struts, you will also need the upper spring mount and spring isolator to make an assembly.
