Re: Rear Drop Questions for and 87 R10
Ok guys, got it done but not happy with the way it sits. I feel like one of those tools that has the front of his truck jacked up higher than the rear (maybe that's just a Tennessee thing). Debating whether to raise the rear a couple of inches or cut another half coil or whole coil off the front. Suggestions? Was hoping for a slight rake.

Re: Rear Drop Questions for and 87 R10
The rear looks good. So do the wheels. I'd go about cutting the front coils slowly. Like a half coil at a time until you get the desired affect. Yes, that requires you removing the coils, cutting a half coil off each side, putting the coils back in, driving the truck to let them settle, and then possibly doing it all over again. But, it will allow you to not cut too much off at once.

Took a half coil off the front coils.

Re: Rear Drop Questions for and 87 R10
Much better. I'd leave it just like that and drive the wheels off of it.

Re: Rear Drop Questions for and 87 R10
It looks much better now. It's cool what a little bit in height change does to a truck. I swapped out my 2" drop spring for a 1.5" drop spring. With my 2.5" spindle, I'm at 4" in the front. No more rubbing like when I was at 4.5" in the front.

Re: Rear Drop Questions for and 87 R10
Looks great now but what was the deal with the rear axle so far forward in the before pic?
