My truck has CPP 3" lowered springs which I cut a coil and a half off. The rear has CPP 5" lowered springs with 2" blocks as well. From what I can tell I have the 5/7 drop.

Tires and wheels look perfect. What size?

Thanks! They're 225/70/15's. I'm also using 2"wheel spacers to push the tires out closer to the fenders

Just got it out after a long, cold winter. 2/4 drop using lowered coil springs.

Looks good.

5" drop springs out back, 2 1/2" drop spindles and 2" drop springs in the front.
Other than a stiff ride in the rear, its great. I plan to keep th rear springs since I use it as a truck and haul stuff still. If anything I may throw a bit of weight back there to soften the ride a bit. Ill likely be putting in at least a 1" block in the rear as well. I like the rake, but its just a bit much.

Previous owner had cut some coils (not sure how much) on front and rear. Just added 2.5 inch drop spindles. Front is way low - like an inch off the bumpstops. Bottoms out and tires rub when turning (but just barely). For those that said they cut them off, what shocks did you use? Also, I am taking suggestions for what size drop coils for the rear. I am thinking 3".

I put the 5 inch from CPP on the rear and It looks an drives good no c notch, with adjustable track bar and spings with re-locator kit.
