Hello

Well... what size tires and rims are you running? If you have a big tire you might be hitting the inner fenders or fender lip. You'll be getting real close to the ground with your control arms at that height if you have a small tire. Also If you are running a 15x8 rim with a 3" drop spindle you may run into issues with the lower control arms rubbing. If you run about a 27" tire (215/70R15) you should be ok, but that will be a pretty big static drop in front. Mine is down about 5.5" in this pic with 215/70 tires and no rubbing issues. This will be about my ride height after I finish my air ride install.

2.5 spindle and 3" spring.
Your a-arms will be REALLY close to the ground.

I cut 3 coils out
It was just temporary to see how it looked. I wouldnt recommend more than 2 coils if you actually plan to drive it. Im not driving it like this. Its getting full air suspension installed in the springtime.
