Re: Static drop lowering-totally lost!
3" spindles and cut 1 coil in the front. Also removed the bump stop on the LCA. Still planning on moving the upper shock mount.
The rear was flipped without a kit. I used a new spring pad and added 1" lowering blocks. Flipping and adding a block required me to shorten my driveshaft. The shaft was cut roughly 3/4". Adding the block changed things just enough to make shaft length an issue. Note: The block was added a couple weeks after the flip was completed.
Also, I built new shock extender brackets for the rear but they haven't been installed yet. My rear shocks look to be original and were shot. A note to those that say you don't need the extenders, yes you do. Both rear shocks are now leaking fluid, busted.
Anyway, I didn't measure the truck before lowering. My best guess would be 5-6" on both ends
