Lowered front end questions

Hello, everybody I have 2 inch lowering springs and 2 1/2 inch drop spindles but my front end doesn’t look anywhere near 4 1/2 drop, there’s no engine and tranny or my inner fenders yet and I highly doubt a engine and tranny will drop it to make it look right. I’ll attach pictures, I want opinions on what you guys think. I might get a different springs cause I don’t like the way it sits right now

Wait 'till you get everything in and on the truck before making any more spring changes. The springs will compress further with the added weight.

Not only will it drop after you put the engine in it, but it will also drop a bit more once you start driving it and things settle in.

Re: Lowered front end questions

I agree as well, get the weight on and you'll see! I'm guessing those are 15" rims too so it does make it appear to sit a bit high at the moment.
