Pics Please

Can someone post a pic of a truck with 5 1/2" drop in front and about six in the rear? I am thinking of buying the 2 1/2 " drop spindles and the 3" springs for the front and do a flip kit in the rear. Will i run into any problems?
Thanks guys

Looking again at your intentions, you might run into having to replace your ball joints more often with the 3" springs up front, not to mention having to worry about anything higher than a hamster when driving- it'll really make for a bad day if you hit a pothole wrong!

I would just be using the truck for cruising. It looks like the one in the pics isnt that horribly low. I suppose the lower you go, the more stress on the ball joints?
Thanks guys
