I cut one coil off the front springs and ended up about 3 1/2" below stock and put 5" drop springs in the rear. At 5" of rear drop you'll need to notch the frame over the axle and get an adjustable panhard bar. I had to remove my front bumpstops. It drives straight and rides as smooth as a Cadillac.
