I think i made a bad call on leafsprings :(

Got the stage 2 drop leaf spring kit from POL and went with the 3" drop for the rear and 2.5 for the front. The reason for choosing these drop height is first off the stock ride on my truck was nose down so going with 2.5 in the front I thought would level it out a bit with the 3" on the rear. Secondly it was the maximum drop offered for the leaf spring options on the front.

With the springs installed the truck only dropped 1" in the front and the rear went nicely way down about 2.5". I even took out the first small leaf to get it to go to the 1" drop. With full fuel (tank in rear) and bed wood installed the rear will drop more.

I worried the front will not settle to the 2.5" drop they are noted to make.

Anyone installed the same or similar setup and have any info on the front relaxing? I don't want a truck pointing nose up!
