You could just go 2/3. The rear should be adjustable with spacers and just dont crank the keys all the way. I've heard 2" with keys isn't too bad but 3" is.
I was gonna do 2" drop keys cranked to 1.5"

I'm cranked to 3" with about 1/8" of droop, it doesn't hit unless I take a speed bump fast, but under normal driving it rides great. My angles aren't bad on my ball joints, but the tie Rods are squished to one side, but I'm gonna replace them with the Rare Parts ones when I need to, but the new Moog's I put in when I lifted it a year and a half ago are still just fine. Along with the steering stabilizer it handles really well. Now I was snapping sway bar bushing clamps & end links left and right (punny) until I put in the Cognito ones because of how much it changed the angles. Also remember, get what ya pay for.

It's not just you on this one. Typical low price item to get your attention with outrageous shipping. They show $45 to get them from CA to MA which is BS.
Idk man I can't find a set of clear heads for less that $100 shipped to AK, :mad:
Back when I had my silverado everything had free shipping, I don't know what's changed. Economy has gone up, gas down, idk

Turned around and went back to Charlotte to pick up my brothers car and she had a better time with this than the truck.

I did my alignment with 17's on because nobody had an alignment machine that would do 26's. The shop said if wouldn't matter and it looks like they were right. On another note, I wouldn't go down 3" on keys, you're asking for a bad ride. Spindles or forget it!

That is what I don't understand about keys actually. You can go 2" on stock keys, and really you shouldn't even lower it that far on keys alone if you value the ride at all.

I think that stock ride height isn't completely in the center of the travel arc. You can go a lot higher with keys, but not that much lower.
