1” & 2” drop with 31” tires

I finally got a chance to get my truck out of the garage in the day light. I bought this truck last November. It sat up like a 4wd with stock springs and 28” tires. My initial plan was to try the original springs and 31” tires. I tore the truck apart to clean it up and paint frame, trailing arms, etc. The rear coil bolts and retainers were rusted and I couldn’t get them apart. I had to cut out the originals. At that point I decided to go with the least amount of drop I could get for the replacement springs, 1” front & 2” rear.
I ended up replacing shocks, ball joints, steering linkage, etc. Recently got it all back together and on the ground with the 31” tires. If I had tried it with stock springs, I probably would’ve went that route. It is sitting a little lower than I would have thought, but I really do like the stance. There aren’t any clearance issues. I have some wiring to finish up and an alignment before I can road test it, but I don’t think there will be any problems. I am also going to add air bags to the coils for when I tow with it.
