Re: new drop pics..

I agree with 68stepbed.
Your truck is lower than my 2.5" drop spindles and 3" springs. The coil would have to be collapsed under there. Do you have any pics of the spring in the a-arm?

Take a look, most vendors have both (or all three, some have 'em for 6, too). Not only is there a difference in ride height, but BB springs are rated higher. Put a BB spring in a SB truck, and it'll sit .5-1.0 inches higher and ride like a roller coaster. Similarly, put a SB spring in a BB truck and watch your front end bounce like an elephant on a trampoline (like 3rdsttito's avatar).

Re: new drop pics..

Here's my truck with 2.5" big block springs and dropped spindles. The rear has 6" drop springs. I haven't drove it yet, so it may settle a little more. Maybe this will help?Name:  re 2.JPG

Re: new drop pics..

The wheels look sweet. Your's looks similar to mine. It' got 2" dropped springs and 2 1/2" dropped spindles in the front with 5 1/2" total drop in the rear (springs/blocks).
