I'm admittedly new (ignorant?) to the art of lowering. Factory had a slight rake with the rear about 2" higher than the front correct? So lowering the front 4 - 4-1/2" and the back 6" would bring it more into a level field and improve the pinion angle and eliminating any need for a wedge wouldn't it?

Currently looking at McGauphy's 2-1/2" drop spindles with Hotchkis 2" coils front and 6" in the rear. Would a spring/block combo be better for the rear?
