Ah, much better. Another inch in the rear.

The truck has a coil cut off the front and 4" drop coils. It needed a little more in the back. So, now with 1" lowering blocks, shock re-location, and adjustable panhard bar. Pretty pleased with the outcome.

The 1.5" would be amazing. I got my stuff from Steet Machinery. He's on here and sells this stuff very reasonable. Check out the thread in the suspension section.

Re: Ah, much better. Another inch in the rear.

Nice truck! With all the suspension info, how about wheel/tire dimensions? Diameter, width, offset, etc.

Re: Ah, much better. Another inch in the rear.

So... 1 coil cut in the front and 4" drop spring in the rear with 1" block gave you that drop?

Yes. The prior owner did the coil cut and 4" springs right before I bought the truck. The 4" springs are ccp and the part number is their 4" coil. So, I can validate the rear is the 4" plus a 1" block. Prior owner was very up front and everything checks out, so I believe the 1 coil cut in front is what he did.
