Thats what i was askin you before....then take the Block out!!!!!!

As far as the front your in the same boat as me. At 3.5" up front i already notched the holes alot to align it, so coils i think would screw that up. Im waiting for Tony to contact me. I bet he is going to suggest A-arms, they dont mess up alignment.

The only kit i can find is the ground force kit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/grf-9987/applications and it seems way over priced for 2 coils two hangers and some shims. I looked for about a hour yesterday and cant find what i want. Has anyone came across a set of 2" drop springs? I can buy drop hangers locally for $50 then i would just need shims for the axle.

remember if you loaded up the rear the front will come up a little. Now are you always running 1000 lbs in rear?? What does the truck measure from ground to fenderlip all around. In rear i would do shackles and shorter belltech sp shocks.

Oh rear you can do the belltech 2-3 kit. Shackles and block removal and shorter shocks.

In order for me to dial in a kit I need ypu to measure the truck from ground to fenderlip all around with your normal load in rear.
