Man lemme tell ya, I guess I just got lucky? I put the 2.5" spindles in and also cut the crap outta the bump stops then ground down all the leftover metal from them so the bag wouldnt be touching any sharp metal.

Yeah I have seen people section the front crossmember to get it lower but I dont think I really need to do that, once the tranny crossmember is changed out she will sit another 3" lower. The front A-arms are still about 1/4" above the ground not quite hitting yet but as soon as that tranny crossmember is changed I think it will be all the way down. If I drive up on some 2x6 blocks that I have and then let it all the way out the lower A-arm is touching the upper spring pocket LOL NOW THAT IS LOW!!!! So yeah I think I just got lucky.... Unless something is different about the stepsides?
