Dropping the 1 ton!

Axle flip kit, should give me 5 inches lowered for the rear end.

2 inch drop springs for the front, cut out one coil should get me another 2 inch drop and trim the bump stop, should get me 4.5 inch drop.

Does this sound like im on the right track. I'm pretty much doing it just like Charlsdur did.

Couldn't i just cut a couple coils out of my stock coil springs up front and wouldn't that lower it about 4 inches? Instead of buying half ton springs?

Where can i buy some after market upper and lower control arms for my truck, that would work with my plans here? I like the clean look of the after market tube control arms.
