How low can I go

How low can I go with stock spindles? I would like to go as low as possible with everything stock no cutting. Front and rear

Re: How low can I go

In your case i would think about going 3" front springs and 5" rear springs. I've cut 1.25 coils off existing front coils to get the 3" drop and buy a set of rears cuz you can't cut them. Lower your whole truck for about $100 or just buy both sets new.

Check the link above. That is how low I went. I actually cut too much off the front springs, but it gave me the look I wanted.

With bags and some modded lower A-arms, you can go this low
