I haven't dropped the rear of mine yet, but the front has 3" drop springs, and I stepped the lower control arms 1-1/2". Total of 4-1/2" in front. The rear is going to have manual-fill airbags.

Two coils ut up front and Jeep TJ springs plus 3" blocks in the rear. The front is pretty much on the trimmed bumpstops and the rear is about an inch off. The rear rides good, the front not so good. 1 1/2 coils is probably about perfect.

Cut your stops off and the bracket that hold them. It will ride fine.

This thing was cut way down in the front....removed steering stop/bumpstop mounts and short shocks....rode great, and could still go down more...

Front 3 inch drop springs and 3 inch DJM drop lower control arms, Rear Jeep TJ springs, no blocks no C notch. Wheels are Ridler 18x8 0 offset tires 255-55-18 Goodyear LS2.
Front is about as low as you can go without inner fender mods, I can't put my fist between the top of the tire and the inner fender. Rear is very soft with the Jeep springs, too soft really, there's about 2 1/2 inches before the snubbers hit.

Can you post up a pic of those blocks for me? Curious as to how they are supposed to sit and how to asjust the pinion angle. Thanks.

A bone-stock 350 and 700R4... I also have a 5.7L TPI from a Firebird and I am planning to swap them out in a few weeks. I just need to sell off the carbed 350 motor and trans to pay for the swap.
