Need some advice on 1" drop coils..and Belltech spindles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 83 has 2.5" western spindles with one full coil cut, its about a 4.5-5" drop over stock. I'm fairly happy with the ride quality, running 15x8 rallys with 225/70 tires.
I have a 87 GMC, I'm fixing to drop , I have 3" Belltech spindles ordered. I want the front to be no lower than about 4" ... Anybody have any suggestions on 1" drop coils that you have actually used used and gotten a true 1" drop out of? And will the Belltech give me a true 3" drop? I am tempted just to do the spindles, but am afraid it may be a little high in the front with a flip in the rear. I'm not against cutting the factory coils... but don't want to get more than 1" or so spring drop.
