I am looking at drop springs for my pickup. I don't want to buy new shocks so I am only going 2 inches in the front.

I want more of a lean forward but don't want to go too far since I live in SD and have to drive down gravel roads and in snow.
Could I see some pics of 1" front and 3" rear please?

Has anyone left the rear stock height and droped the front?If so, please post some pics? I'm looking for opinions so don't be shy.

I have lowered three trucks,and in my opinion,2 inches didn't make enough difference to justify the cost of the springs. On my 2nd truck,i went with a 3\5 drop and liked it much better.
