You can always cut 1/2 a coil off of your stock front springs and save some $$. A full coil is about a 2" drop.

I’ve been thinking about it. I’ll be running ’83 C10 control arms, spindles and steering, I may just cut the stock springs and see how it goes. I really don’t want a bouncy ride, this will be my kid’s truck.

I think I may have found a deal on some 2.5” front spindles. We’ll see how that pans out.
