Just seen this sorry,
2'' block with d2600 in place of the springs, ECE track bar and shock relocators.
SD plates and uncut cups, with d2600 also
as far as the amout of drop, I dont know, someone forgot to measure the stock hight....
I'm not happy with the front, and I know I could cup my cups, but Im not sure that would drop the front low enough for the back with stock spindles.
The rear will lay the frame on the axle tubes.
Im looking for another set of LCAs to plate the bottom and put like an 8'' pipe around the bag, then bolt the bag to the lower plate. Dropping the lower mounting point about 3-3 1/2 inches.
From what Ive read the amount of drop at the bag, or spring, will double the amount the the actual drop. correct me if Im wrong.
