Not if you get ECE lowered mounts for your sway bar. Mine is dropped 4.5". My lower "A" arms at the lowest point are only 3.5" off the ground.

My truck has ECE 2.5" drop spinds and 2" drop Ground Force springs. You should be fine. The ECE lowered mounts are not too expensive and it is possibe that you don't even need them. ECE has great Cust Serv...talk with them when you order your Spinds!

Sorry, I don't have a very good side shot. Truck is still in build process and has only been outside of the garage with the bed off. Maybe someone else can post a nice pic of a 4" front drop???

I saw a trick where a guy drilled out the rivets on the original sway bar mounts and then mounted the sway bar on top instead of on the bottom. Pretty ingenious and cheap! Wish I had thought of it.
