So I started at 5.5" in the front to see where that would put me and it was rubbing real bad on the inner fender. So I removed it to see if it would give me any extra room.....no luck..... So I am going to wait and see if my new tires will make a difference. I hope it does. It prolly won't. So my plans are to lift it 1/2" and see where I am at.

What size tires you have now? Is it hitting the inner fender while turning or travel up and down?

I was way wrong on what I typed above. On sunday when I did the front I actually lowered it to 6.5" of drop!! I had the 3.5" lca's, 2" spindle and the Strut set to -1". So when I started working on it today I was shocked that I had done this and put the strut back to zero where it should have been in the first place. So now it is at 5.5" of drop in the front and I have no rubbing issues. Tommorow it goes to get aligned and I will finally be all done with the drop. Today I also had the new tires mounted. They are 265/35/22 lexani tires.

Sorry for the crappy phone pic!

I'm glad the 5.5 worked in the front because that looks sick!

Thanks everyone! I really like it. And it doesn't ride any worse than it did. The 2" belltech spindle is the way to go if you can run a 20" wheel or bigger all the time!
