Re: Lowering by raising leaf spring mounts

OK, I read through 7 pages of Keith Seymore's thread, and he said he lowered it when new, but no explanation of HOW. Said he didn't recall the deets, but looks like 2 inches in front, 3 inches in back.

Sounds like 2-inch drop shackles in rear and 2-inch drop coils in front.
The LMC catalog says lowering front 2 inches or more requires drop shocks. Do you concur? Can I get shorter shocks (Monroematics sound good to me) from my FLAPS? LMC wants $60 a pop.

I have a ton of space between the top of tires and fender lips. Running 275/60-15's.
In my head, 2-inches front/rear looks like hardly anything. I'll take a side-on shot of the truck and post it for opinions. Thanks to all!
