is there a 3/3 drop??????????
I don't think the 2/2 drop is enough
i like the 3/4 drop but don't like the *** of the truck sitting so low
so do they make a 3/3 drop? or would i have to make one out of swapping kits? (which is a bad idea sometimes)

I think I might have an answer for you go with the 3/4 drop and with the shackles in the rear bring up a notch, there are 3 notch holes in the shackle, then you'll have a 3/3 drop! That what I'm planning to do now since I have the Bell Tech 3/4 on my Lightniing now the back seems about 1 inch lower than the front so I plan to raise the shackle up a notch! Hope this is some help!

PS. Check out my 3/4 drop on "Paging David Yee Black L. with Chrome Rims" a couple of days post back. You'll see what the back looks like now with the 3/4 drop.

DJY is right on the money. Most kits have shacklse that have several different sets of holes for different heights.
Remember: 2 inch springs on the L is just a 1 inch drop in the front because it has 1 inch lowered springs from the factory. Not the same case with the rear (Not sure about this but I think so). Sinch Roush was involved with the L, the factory rear lowering was probably done with the leaf springs, so a 4" kit would probably actually lower 4 inches. That's probably why DJY's kit looks a little lower in the rear. I lowered my regular truck with 3/5 kit and the rear is just barely lower than the front.
