Wouldn't it be better to use a 2 inch drop spindle and a 1 or 2 inch drop spring in the front?

IMO... that's the only way I would go; but you can run a 3" spring as many have done and continue to run.

s/t... there isn't a shock relocator for the front; they are just shorter shocks IIRC.

There are front shock relocators, but they are not needed unless you go with bags or a larger spring drop in the front. Here's the ones I got from ART.

Thanks Rob, thats what I wanted clarification on. I'm not sure what drop I have. I was told It has dropped spindles and springs but I don't think they are drop spindles.....
I guess they are fine it seems ok.

PS hope you enjoyed your stay in Albuquerque. I was hoping to see you on base, but knew you were in and out all the time.

True... thank you for the reclarification Rob. Maybe I'll be able to do the front shock relocator mod on a future project.

Stuck in static mode at the moment.
