Any advice on doing this 2" lowering or not. | | |

I also installed new bushings that came with the springs.Also installed a front sway bar.The truck is about two inches lower,and rides real nice ,the sway bar also makes a big difference in handling. old navy 51............ | | |

It dropped the front about 2.5" and the back about 4.5". I put 2" blocks in the rear to bring it up even. The front slams against the rubber stop when I hit a bump. I think she rides a little stiff for a single leaf. It does look good though. | | |
