Keep over all tire height in mind when choosing springs.

from what I've read, you are better off using 2" blocks w/ 3" springs than 5" springs/ no blocks. AND 5.5" drop is A LOT up front. Most combos here on the forum are 3/5 or 4/6. There are several pics of these setups to give you an idea on overall stance.
Thanks again.. I guess once I get all the weight back on it ill decide if I want to swap out the front springs with 1' or 2"... I read it takes a little while for springs to settle into their final ride height too..
