You will need to check the condition of Your balljoints.Jack up the frontwheel and see if there is any play.You can put 2" drop springs in the front without a problem.Anymore than that i would go with drop spindles and springs.Back springs are probaly allright.Can use drop blocks to lower.A good set of shocks will make a big difference in handling.
