I'm working on my truck but cant decide what drop to put on it. Could someone post pictures of their trucks and how much they are dropped? Thanks in advance.

I just got this truck and the PO lowered it. Shotty job and rides like crap. He said that he cut 1 1/4 coils out of the front yet it is sitting on the bump stops now, the rear had been cut ( i don't know how much. But he cut the bottom off of the spring, and since the are progressive type springs, they are smaller on top and bottom than in the middle and now the springs don't sit on the trailing arm like it should. The coil is actually "screwed" around the trailing arm on the passenger side so it rides like it has no suspension all the way around. Looks good but it WILL be fixed right. Here are some pics:

Well I would insert a pic but my image gallery is not working at the moment. I will post one as soon as i get this fixed.

Go with a 4" front 6" rear. ANY less and you will wish you went lower in time.
