Similar story on my GMC stepside..... 4" springs in the rear, 2.5 spindles front, I put 1" blocks in rear AND THOUGHT THE FRONT WAS A LITTLE TOO HIGH. I cut 1 coil off the old original front springs. I guess I'm satisfied, or too lazy to mess with it any more. Feels a little bouncy/choppy in the front I think. Installed new stock length shocks that didn't seem to help much.
