2" is about max you want to go on a front spring, If you need more I would go with a spring/spindle combo. At the rear, you can do a 4" drop with a shackle & front spring hanger, or a 6" drop with a flip kit & a C notch. good luck.....crazyL

first u gotta decide on what drop you want, then choose from western chassis, djm, or belltech.. also gotta decide if you just want maximum drop, ride quality, or cheap as possible..
