I full coil cut off the top should give you about 1.5-2" drop.
I was under the impression that the 3/5 will level the truck out. i don`t want it sitting higher in the front than the rear. My old 75gmc was that way because it was a original bbc truck and it had a 350 in it with the original springs.

Go out and measure how much room you have above your front tire. (from the top of the tire, up to the inner fender)
Subtract 3".
That's approximately how much clearence you will have after dropping the front with your new drop springs.

That is a great idea. I didn`t even think about that. What about when i turn the wheels? Any place to measure for that?
