Re: how much drop to level?
3" drop springs are all there is in front. to get to the 5" up front, you would need to do
drop springs 3" plus 2" drop spindles, but you need 17"+ wheels. or 2.5" spindles and 2" springs, best with 17"+ wheels also or 2.5" spindles and bag the front, best with 17"+ wheels also Have fun!

Re: how much drop to level?
The front A arms start to get really close to the ground.......also even if someone is running 17" wheels the only thing that really counts is diameter of the tire wheel combo.......lower profile 17" can be the same diameter as a tall 15" tire/wheel combo...

I have 15" wheels and I have a 4/5" drop. with 8" wide wheels and 255/60/15's on, I rub on tight turns. I put some 15x6.5" wheels on with 235/70/15's and now I no longer rub. With another 1" of drop as the OP stated, My calculations in my head were that it would rub ALOT more. sorry if I miss stated
