Here's a photo of 1.875" Front/2.0" Rear Drop Springs

Just finished this drop ten days ago. I realize that 90+% of the people that see this won't like it, because it's not low. I totally get it. I like low trucks, too. I really liked the showroom stock look on this pickup, but wanted a little lower center of gravity for better handling. I noticed the difference on the circular freeway on ramps and interchanges immediately. I can carry more speed into them.

I went with Hotchkiss 2" springs in front (1.875" for small block trucks), and 2" springs in the rear from Brothers (Hotchkiss doesn't sell 2" rear springs). I also did a CPP front six lug disc conversion with Wilwood dual 2.0" pistons while I was at it, and all new front brake lines, with braided stainless to the calipers.

Just posting this for reference, so that people can see what 2.0" looks like.
