Re: rear suspension question ?

Welcome to the board! Are you wanting to know what springs you should purchase for the rear to have the drop look proportionate? If you have a 3.5" drop up front, I'd go with 5" drop springs for the rear. You should look into an adjustable track bar for the rear, too.

Re: rear suspension question ?

Gotcha; I'm not very familiar with lowering leaf spring trucks. Maybe a flip kit and blocks? I'm sure someone will chime in with the information you need. Sorry I couldn't be of greater assistance.
