Need Input if i should go lower
 
1 Attachment(s)
I'm going to change out my trailing arms and was thinking about going from a 4" drop in the back to a 5" drop spring and then i have a 2 1/2" drop spindle in the front and was thinking about a 1" drop spring in the front . What does everybody think, Brothers is having a good sale on drop springs till tomorrow so i need to know quick. Thanks For the input

That's my plan, right now 2 1/2 in front and 4 in rear. I am running 255/55-18.
By the way I would eat at House of Seafood in Lynn Haven when I traveled to Panama City. Sad to see it gone.

I like the look of a 4/6 drop, myself. I will however be checking out that brothers sale.

You might need a 7" wheel up front to go any lower (?) How close is the outer lip of the fender to the edge of the tire sidewall?

That stance is awesome as it sits. Lower will mean clearance challenges up front and I wouldn't trade a lower stance for narrower front tires...! Looks great!

A 1" drop spring will prob sit at the same height as your old sagged stock front springs. I would cut 1/2 a coil off your stock springs for a 1" drop. Why spend the money. I would definately lower it more though.

I think it sits very nicely right now! I am a fan of slammed trucks, but yours is pretty decent. Unless you do a full airbag setup, just leave it how it is, it looks great. And, I'm getting in on the brother's sale too! I've already spent wayyyy to much from this sale this month, but can't pass up these deals!

What Square 78 said. Do you have the shock relocator kit and add track bar?
