updated pics, need your opinions too

Got my front clip installed today (Saturday)...I am getting soo excited, I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel! The truck will be going in for final paint in May/June.

Now for my questions, and hopefully your feedback...but before that, some info on the truck.

The front is droped 4" with 3" spindles and 1" drop springs. The rear is dropped approx 7-8 inches (depending on who you ask) with a flip kit and 2" drop shackles...and I removed the overload springs from each leaf (I have HD rear springs..but that shouldn't matter with a flip).

As you can see in the pics, the truck is basically level, perhaps a fraction higher in the front. I would like the front lower OR the rear higher...but preferably the front lower. I was thinking 2" drop coils to replace my current 1" drop coils...sound like a good idea, or should I go with 2" drop coils. Whatever it is, I only want to do it once.

I could relocate the rear leaf springs to the next hole on the shackles, essentially raising the rear...but I dig the rear stance and wheel placement in the wheel well.

Anyhow, looking forward to your feedback! Thanks.
