Re: Little confused on what to do with front suspension now.
Personally I would start with 3/4 ton springs...give yourself a firm ride, add drop spindles and disk and cut your coils to adjust how high you want to be..
do your ball joints while your in there...any lowering adds a small amount of stress in a ball joint depending on how low. thats my .02 worth... trust the Captain

Re: Little confused on what to do with front suspension now.
Just keep in mind that the lower you go with a static drop the closer the front crossmember is to the ground all the time. Watch out for those speed bumps and pot holes. If you don't want to sacrifice ride quality go with the drop spindles and a max of 2" lower springs. You'll always lose some spring action when they are heated/cut.

I think you should go to 2600 air bags up front, that will solve the problem, you can alter the height to where you like it. Kieth
