I would like to drop the front another 1" - 1 1/2" lower from where I'm at now, (I'm at 1 1/2" now.) and would like any suggestions that anyone might have to offer reguarding getting a 3" drop up front. Another question I have is about the bumpstops. Right now, even with mine cut in half it's almost sitting on the bumpstop. How do you get around not coming into contact with them when you do a 2+inch drop up front? I'm assuming that I will need to get some 2" drop A-arms and a 1" drop spring? Will that combo interfear with the bumpstops at all?

Thanks for any info :beer:

No answers, but I'll be interested to hear what others have to say. I'm running Ruslow 1000 pound coils up front with no isolators and 2 weeks later, I finally cut down my stock bumpstops today. It's amazing how much better it rides when your suspension actually has room to travel! ;)

You can see the clean spot on my lower arm where the bumpstop had been resting.

Here's how I currently sit with the Ruslows. (and yes, that's a PR sticker on the back left rear window :tu: )

That is too low Chris you will have bumpo steer all the time. You should have the black bump stops not the yellow ones. It will take lower control arms to get lower than a 2-2.25" spring can do. I think Western Chasis make a 3" control arm. You may also look for a bump steer kit to fix the angle on the ty rods that low.
