I take it that u probably used 2.5 inch spindles and aftermarket drop coil springs (which always vary in advertised drop).


Your truck looks like it would work best with a axle flip, which will drop it the width of the axle tube 3 inch and the leaf pack 2-4 more inches, giving u a minimum of 5 inch with factory ride quality. Be sure to adjust pinion angle to 2-3 degrees down or it will vibrate like a mother. Good luck ...TTYL

You are right, I did get the Classic Performance Products 2.5" drop spindles. I, however, did NOT get any drop coils. I used the factory coils and replaced all the front end components.

As far as drop in the rear, I already have the 3" drop shackles. I really only want about 2 more inches is all and thats why I was thinking about taking out 2 leaves. I guess I could go through it all again and take out the drop shackles and do the flip and also adjust the pinon angle. A possibility.
