Should I be disappointed? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have had my suspension together for a while now on my '64 but just put wheels on it today to see how it sits and to roll it around. I have the CPP modular drop spindles 2.5" with 3" CPP drop springs, and my front crossmember sits about 8" off the ground! Granted the tires I have are about 28" tall and are just for rollers, but I was hoping for more around 4" at the crossmember. Will these springs sag enough to get me where I want to be? Also I'll be running 20x9s up front with a 275/30 tire, what overall diameter will a tire like that be? I don't really want to cut half a coil, but If I have to.. any advice?
