I also have my 2nd Gen flush with top of frame and it sat the same (as bobinbc) with one coil of stock springs cut out. However, since blowing apart and replacing all bushings, ball joints, and going with Hotchkis lowering springs, I'm around 6 inches higher.... Trying to decide whether to go with drop spindles and/or cut those springs down to get it back down where I want it. I have heard that having the LCA parallel to ground is what you want, which is what I have - just need to bring it back down a few inches. With the LCA's parallel, should I attempt drop spindles with cutting a coil, or just go back with stock springs and cut? Don' recall how the LCA's were before I blowing apart.

Thanks, Jim
