Never heard of springs not staying in pocket. If it pops or moves around it probably wasn't installed right in the beginning. I went with a 4/6 ece drop the only thing I don't like is with the spindle you automatically lose ground clearance. It lowers your truck but doesn't seem to do much to change the look of the wheel to wheel wel. The picture of my truck to me looks stock height except for the wheel, but everything is new so I'll wait a while so it can settle before I cut the springs or get different ones.

I'm interested in this as well. I want to do it right, but also on a budget.
