Re: Lowering Regrets

I stated with the same drop you did, 4.5/6 and I thought the nose was too low, I didn't like it. I added a 3/8" spacer to the front spring.

You don't have to remove anything on the front control arms with your drop, just trim the bump stops. Trim rear as well.

Put 15's back on. With the 2.5" spindle you will have to trim the A-Arm a bit.

I was unhappy with mine until I put a better quality shock on the truck. Much better. Still doesn't ride as good as stock on "crappy roads" but for the most part, I can't tell the difference anymore.

It sounds like a lot of your issues are with the the CPP springs? I didn't have any of those issues with my Early Classic Enterprise (ECE) kit.

Also make sure you got the front springs inside the pocket. The coil does have a spot it's supposed to sit in top and bottom.
