Default Lightning springs

I am in the process of my 2wd hotrod bronco swap and would like to lower it only about a couple inches more in the front so would lightning springs get me there,I wish there was one locally so I could check it out but I have not seen one in a long time around here. I just want to know how low I can go with springs before alignment issues pop up,I will get the dropped beams if I have to but not looking for that much of a drop since I plan on this being a daily driver.

I think the 3" beams are your best bet. I think when you get near 2" you start getting alignment issues.

Before I got the bronco there was a set on ebay that went cheap,if I would have gotten them I would not have found a bronco. It would be no problem to change the beams now before I drive it and all the bolts rust up.

I just remembered the lightnings had 17 inch tires so I doubt the springs would do much with 15 inch wheels.
