Re: how low static drop w/o rubbing issues
I want to say 5 inch front drop.
But it really depends on the size/height of the front tires.

Re: how low static drop w/o rubbing issues
FWIW...I lowered the front of my 85 suburban with 2.5" spindles and cut 1 coil for a total drop of about 5 inches or so. It sat on the stock 235/75R15's and it rubbed bad, I mean almost any bump it and the tires would rub hard on the inner fenders. That and my turning radius was almost non-existant. I switched to some 225/70R15's and now I am fine. It will rub on the inners but only if I hit a good bump going too fast. Any my turning radius is back to stock also. I could've removed the inner fenders, but that will wait 'till I bag it in the spring and for now.
