Hard to admit but I sold a pair of lowering springs because I didn't know how much they would have lowered it. The adds I reviewed showed 2", 3" or 1 to three inches, so I sold them. Now finding I have one side 1 inch higher than the other maybe I should get a pair of new springs to start out evenly and thinking I would have more control over how much it was lowered by cutting them. As for the springs groaning and popping I was going to put a spring stops or guides on the lower control arm so the spring can't shift.

I have 3" lowering spindles and as for what I'm looking for is about 4.5 inches. Wheels are 15x8 ralleys with 255 60s. Any more than 4.5 drop may be a problem.
