Now as far as lowering the back...well Im pretty sure you will lose in towing weight...the tongue plus bed weight.

Me myself I decided against doing the 2/4 drop
Thanks John, I think we gathered information from similar sources

I like the idea of spindles and stock springs in the front, but I would need to acquire a set of drop spindles and sell my stock height ones.

On the rear, I just want to still be able to tow my dad's 84 Champion bass boat. Still trying to convince him to let me bring it down to Milledgeville with me.. not successful yet.. Lake Sinclair is only a 15 minute drive
