Actually. I'm on coil springs. -1 front (w/ 2" drop spindles); -3 rear ( w/ 2" blocks). I had -2" front but my front tires have a lower profile (and harsher ride) than the rears. I wanted to even out things F/R so I'm putting -1" springs up front then bolting on good shocks.

Keep over all tire height in mind when choosing springs.

from what I've read, you are better off using 2" blocks w/ 3" springs than 5" springs/ no blocks. AND 5.5" drop is A LOT up front. Most combos here on the forum are 3/5 or 4/6. There are several pics of these setups to give you an idea on overall stance.
