Double posts are helping my post count I guess. Too bad I don't really care about that. What's the story? The site's very slow to respond to input; and, it's double and triple posting like mad.

Thats a no-****ter. I installed belltech 3 inch coils on mine and it dropped the front nearly 4 inches under stock height. I was/still am happy as hell. Along with the DL clunk washers, Napa cam bolt kits, alignment and shorter sway bar endlinks. Mine is the right height in my mind. I do have to pull upon homemade ramps (two pieces of semi trailer flooring screwed together) just to get a floor jack under the front.

Once you start dropping the front you will want more.... I now have to run my truck up ramps then use a jack to get the front wheels off. It's the same for the rear also. My drop was so severe the rubber shims under the swaybar mounts were removed for better endlink geometery. Rides like a dream now!
This is just with the Western Chassis 2" Drop A-Arms up front. My truck once settling occured was slightly higher than a 3/4 drop. You lose no suspension travel with the a-arms plus you canstill use the stock coils and shocks.
I wanted my rake back and did'nt like the fact that the front was now higher than the rear so installed a set of Western Chassis 1" drop coils. It's perfect now and around a 4/4 drop.
