Simple coil Cut front drop Fun. (Added Rear block pics)

Well, I woke up today with an itch to do some work on the truck,
so I got to looking and figured it was time to drop the truck a bit.


This is what I started with


Wheel well height from the ground (32.5")


Hub to wheel well height (19.5")


Getting it apart was pretty straight forward


The Stock spring (13.5")



Slice & Dice Time



The aftermath... Cut spring size (12.5")



Wheel well to ground (30") Hub to wheel well (17")


As she sits now


Before drop
Wheel well to ground - 32.5"
Hub to wheel well - 19.5"
Stock Spring size - 13.5"
Tire and wheel info - P275/60R15

After Drop
Wheel well to ground - 30"
Hub to wheel well - 17"
Cut spring size - 12.5"
Tire and wheel info - P275/60R15

And before anyone says it, Yes the back is next, I will be picking up my U-bolts next week & adding a 2" drop block to the rear.

I know I should have replaced all my ball-joints & tie-rod ends while it was apart, but this was just a quick afternoon project & everything looked "OK" not perfect but ok enough to just put back together
