The height of the crossmember from the ground, is the real issue.

I see tons of members install a 3/5 "spring only" drops on their trucks, because it's an affordable drop.
No one complains about the ride quality.
BUT,... when you add a 3" front spring to a drop spindle,... everyone acts like it's some kind of voodoo!

Anyone going with an 5"-6" front drop has to realize there are going to be issues with the inner fenders, front tire height, and speed bumps.

So what's all the ride quality concerns?

the main concern was with the spring itself moving around. since my floor jack was not low enough to fit ynder the LCA id have to jack my truck up from the cross member, both springs would move around bad. i have some decnt drop shocks and it was still just a stiff ride.
