Lowering springs?

Is there any companies out there that make lowering springs for the first gen?

beltech makes a set for the hardbody, and the d21 and d22 frames are very similar, so you might be able to make those work.

then again, you could always just use a lowering block or pull the middle leaf. all depends on how low you want to go.

go to auto zone and get the lift/lowering block kit, cheap and easy way to get what you want in the rear

It depends on where his leafs are. Personally I don't know about the 1st gen. Are your leafs under or over the axle THXdts?

since he's asking to lower it I'm assuming he would have to be a non 4x4 which would put his leafs under the axle unless he's a dessert runner in which case I have no idea why he would want to do this.

you might not want to get the universal ubolts because on the frontier and hardboy, the axle diameter is actually bigger than the ubolts that i have got from autozone and checkers... if you ever run into this problem, dont use heat to bend the bottom of the ubolt so it will fit into the bottom plate.
