Looking to level my fx2, my question is do the 2" drop shackles actually drop a full 2" because when measuring the difference front to back its right at 2",just don't want to end up with the back end lower than the front look

can i use/run the belltech 2351 spindles along with belltech 23807 drop springs to obtain a 4.5 front drop? i already have 20'' wheels.
i'm using drop perches with 1/2 coil removed for a 3'' drop now, but i'm not happy with it since going to a full rear flip. the front needs to go down at least another 1''.
any problem with running the belltech drop springs with drop perches to obtain a 4.5 drop? i already have the drop springs belltech 23807.
what kind of deal can you cut on spindles?

i used the 23807 springs without the spacer and removed 1/2 coil. looks good. i'll take it apart one more time and slot the a arms holes to correct the negative camber.
i'll post a pic in a little while.

Since late 03 when i started lowering the 04 ups ive never had issues with alignment with djm 3.5 arms and the drop struts for 1 inch more. Usually on customers trucks when I do that drop in front I need to do the flip kit in rear with stock shackles or add in a notch and do the 7-8 inch drop

Hey Tony, If I wanted to do a 2/2 drop on my '11 FX4 what would you recommend? I'm thinking drop struts up front with a drop shackle in the rear, but am just not sure of which brands are better. The rear block is already removed, and I've been wanting to drop my truck more for ages now, but can't commit to it for no real reason in particular.. :|
