I'm thinking about dropping my rear as well. I may drop it by as much as two inches and lower the front down one inch full inch. (Mine is also at 24.25" currently.)

So far my rear springs haven't dropped at all from when I put in the F250 springs like I thought they would. My truck also doesn't sag while I'm towing.

My thoughts behind turning the front keys down is to give back a little bit of ride quality. I'm not sure it will affect it that much but I want to try it out.

Yeah I can imagine the HD springs gave you an inch or so, you have blocks also right?

I may have missed it but how does the body lift look?

I need to lower the *** end of my truck as well. I have like 2-3 inches of rake lol. it's ridiculously too high, but it's like that because the PO used my truck to pull a horse trailer.
