3" coils PLUS two coils cut AND drop spindles??? That ain't gonna work. Heck, I don't think the springs alone will work.

A 3" coil is about as much as you can go with coils alone...and if you cut 2 coils, you will have like a 6-7" drop spring...as 1 cut coil = approx 2 inches. THEN you are adding drop spindles on top of that...I just don't see it working. I was asking lots of drop question a couple months ago on here, the consensus was a 5.5 static front drop is about as low as you can go without having clearance issues with the inner fenders and without bottoming out the suspension while driving. Some people have run 6...but that is about it from what I have been told.
