Suspension Gurus

Well, I am planning on starting my suspension over the next month or so and am trying to land in the 2/3 or 3/4 range.

Here is what I was thinking of doing to achieve this:

Front
2 in. Hotchkis coil
1 in. WC A-arms
Hotchkis front Swaybar
Hotchkis custom Bilsteins

Rear
2 in. shackles
2.5 in Hotchkis leaf springs
Hotchkis back Swaybar
Hotchkis custom Bilsteins

Cambolts and clunk washers will also go on.

Is there something I am missing? What would the projected stance be with these mods? I also planning on getting 20s or 22s, so will this drop work?

Thanks in advance

You may want to go with a 3" coil upfront along with that 1" A-arm ... my 3/4 drop is level body wise...but the front looks a little higher because of the fenders IMO....

Im eventually installing some A-arms or something to get another inch to make a 4/4 drop... Your rear drop may be 4 or 5 inches in reality.... so it could possibly be lower than mine in the back.....so I would definitely consider another inch up front.

your wheels will be fine with 20s...not positive on 22s though
