Lowering Problem/ Question

I am in the process of rebuilding my frame and when I got the truck it was lowered in the front with springs, I am assuming they are 2". I need to get new spindles due to the fact that the previous owner had a regular and a heavy duty spindle on the front. If i get a 2" drop spindle in addition to the springs will my truck have a 4" drop in the front?
What would I need in the back to level it out?
Any pictures of this combo would be great.

Nobody makes 2" spindles, they come in 2.5 and 3". I say get the 2.5" spindles and a rear flip kit for the back.

Re: Lowering Problem/ Question

so if i have a 2.5" drop spindle with the 2" lowering springs I would have a 4.5"-5" drop in the front? does that mean the rear would need to be dropped 7" to be level?
