how much lower when I add my bb

does anybody konw how much lower my front end will sit due to the weight of adding a big block? I'm ordering spindles/springs and I want to go as low as I can without having too many clearance issues. I think I'll order 2" springs and just cut them until it sits right but why waste time if I can order 3" springs. thanks

Re: how much lower when I add my bb

If you ask Sport Truck Direct they will say two inches!

My front end didn't drop much at all...if indeed any. I ended up cutting 1/2 coil off my 1" bell tech springs to get the stance I liked. I have a 5.5 front drop now
