Also going this route by cutting 2 or more rounds off of the stock springs, everytime you lift the truck off the ground the spring will move out of its "seat". Personally I do not recommend this type of drop.

If you want to go that low on a budget you can get spindles and a flip kit and an alignment for under $400 done right with only these parts, you dont have to buy the $500 plus kits with all the bells and whistles.
What set up did u get on your truck JKnight at under $400?
