2/4 drop

Can I do a 2/4 drop on my truck just using springs alone???? It needs new springs and I just want a mild lower stance.

The back is custom, so I couldn't tell you what 4 inch in the rear looks like.

Just a warning. Don't expect a true 2/4 drop. With tired springs the last truck I did this to, netted me a 1/2" / 2" drop, lol.

The front is 255/60/15s on 7 inch rims and the rear tires are 275/60/15 on a 10 inch rims. Those are just cheap "Chrome modular" rims from any tires store there isn't anything special about them except they are affordable and are easy to clean.
