New Pics... Need Advice

ok well right now im running a 3/4 drop on 255/35/20 front and 275/35/20 rear. with 3" springs in front and 3" leafs and 1" block in rear. im still not happy with the amount of gap between the wheels and fenders. how much lower should i go? im thinkin 1" lower all around and 1" larger tires. not looking to slam the truck just give it a nice street truck stance. is it possible to go a total of 5" lower in the front with 27" tires? 3" Control arms and 2" springs would accomplish that right?

youll have to put a c notch in the back. and 4" is as low as i'd go in the front with a 35 series tire.

no you can still go lower in the rear, look at how much gap you still have, the parts you used didnt give you the full 4inches you thought you would get. i think youd be safe using a 2inch block or getting a shackle hanger kit. my rear has a 6in drop supposedly but it only dropped 4 1/2

ok well its a good thing i didnt sell the 2" drop coils i hav. so ill hav to find some 2" Control arms.... that combo should drop me 4" in front right? and i think ill try switchin to a 2" block this weekend. i had the 3" leafs and 3" blocks in the back just to see what it looked like and its too much drop with the wheel/tire combo im running. so 5" will be my max in the back.

Somethings not right w/ your drop. I have the same drop on mine w/ 255/35 all the way around and you have more gap than I have.

if u hav a second sometime go take a measurement from the ground to the bottom/middle of the the flare. let me know what u got and ill measure mine and see what the prob is. only thing i can think of is i got sent 3" coils for a V8 when i hav a V6.
