**New item**...JDM Drag Springs

With all the talk about the front suspension setup on our trucks this weekend we have decided to offer it to the public. The front springs used in these trucks were the main reason for the lift. We also suggest the use of QA1 front drag shocks. The springs are much taller and much softer than the stock units. This is going to allow much more throw or travel in the front end. It will allow the truck to lift and stay lifted also inhancing weight transfer. These springs will also decrease sixty foot times.

I have heard alot of people ask about ride quality or how the truck will sit with these springs installed. You will sacrifice the ride quality a little bit as there will be more roll. However we highly suggest these with the use of front QA1 shocks so if you utilize those you can set the shocks much stiffer and that will help tremendously. The ride height will be about the same as stock. These springs when first installed will sit high but there after will settle to a nice height. I will post pics shortly.

The springs will be offered for $189 but are currently not ready to ship. Within 1 week we will have them to offer you. Call us for more information or email Sales@teamjdm.com

Thanks,

JimIII@JDM

You improve your 60 foot times you improve your 1/4 mile..... generally if you can pick up a half tenth there you will gain a full tenth in the 1/4.

You claimed that they increase the 60 foot times, not improve.
I understand the concept.
