Ight, so my truck now has maybe a 2/2 on it or 3/2. Im getting some belltech nitro drop shocks this weekend. they say itll lower the rear 5"-6" of drop and the front 0"-2". my truck sits pretty level now. but do you think i should grab a pair of front 2" drop springs also?? then it would be a 4/5??? or idk understand this shit sometimes.. lol

I dont think drop shocks are going to lower your truck. You are going to need a flip kit to lower it 5-6" i think, along with a c-notch. A friend of mine was going to drop his 99 hoe 4-5 maybe 6", but not sure what ended up happening since he got laid off. He was going with drop spindles and shocks in the front and the flip kit in the rear.

shocks do not lower the vehicle, they are designed to give you more travel and better rebound on lowered vehicles. They simply shorten the housing and damper in order to meet your current wheel travel

i THINK you can grab some spindles and a flipkit and get it lower.

im not trying to blow any money into lowering it right now. Im going to wyotech next year, and we get 50% off all airride technologies shit, so im going to wait until next yr then bag it. ill just save up my money, i was just thinking to get the shocks since mine need to be replaced.. i wasnt sure if they would lower it any more then what is it, or just keep the same stance..
