1.5 or 2.5 inch coils?
 
alright guys, i have my truck already lowered 2.5/4 with western chassis spindles and shakles and hangers out back but going to try to pick up a new axle from a junkyard with a lower gear ratio and a posi so i figure while im takin stuff apart i may as well lower it some more... :)

so im gonna go with a flip in the back, put the stock shackles back on so it will be a 6 inch drop in back...but i dont know what size springs to do in the front. i wanna keep the same look i have now with just a slight rake and im afriad if i only get 1.5 inch coils then it will even things out. am i right in thinking that if i get the 2.5ers then they will really only drop my truck about 2 inches since the stock ones are sagged from 25 years of wear? let me know what y'all think. thanks
