Springs stats for 1-2" front drop / 3" rear

I did a little research and came up with the following springs stats. Hopefully these can help someone out. For now, I'm sticking with the CPP F/R set-up for now and will be adding the ridetech HQ's as soon as they come in. I'm going to evaluate rear ride once I complete the decking material (wood) bed.

CPP springs rate Length (compressed) Length(open)

Front #FCS6102-1 ( 1" drop) 1075#'s 11" 12.5"

Rear #RCS603-3 (3" drop) 300 #'s 8.6" 10.6"

Eibach springs

Front 3816.520 * (2" drop) 1156 #'s 9.3" 11.25"

Rear 3827.520 (3" drop) 257 #'s 8.5" 11"

* For the record, Eibach does not offer a 1" drop spring, they suggested running a .5" spring isolator with the 2" drop spring. As Rob mentioned before. Spring rates rises as the amount of drop increase.
