A 3" drop spring is really pushin the limits of the front end geometry, & i would reccomend a 2 1/2" spindle + a 2" spring up front as max drop. At the rear, if you have a 4" drop coil, you can add a 1 1/2" block to keep your level stance. You will also need to add a frame notch,& an adjustable panhard bar(track locater), to center the rear end. If you want SLAMMED, best bet is talk with the "bagged guys". Good luck.....crazy AL
