Finally got the truck lowered. Belltech 4/6 drop kit. Rear sits good but the front to me is to low. Driving down the street I'm hitting the ground on dips and the crossmember is like 1 or 2" off the ground. What's my best plan of action to raise it a bit? Install a 2" plastic spacer on top of the coil springs (currently using the belltech 1" spacer) Or should I install some 1" drop springs instead of the 2" that are on there now?

Ya I thought about it but the cost is high. Especially considering I just bought a brand new drop kit which includes springs/shocks.

Couple pictures for people who come search on lowering kits.. Belltech 4/6 drop. I'll be installing a 2.5 spacer on the front coils to lift it some. It's just to low...

Trucks looking good and that is really low! If the Belltech front drop is 2" springs 2" spindles... you probably could have done one or the other and it would have sat perfect. It's that smaller diameter tire but I don't know if there are many 15" options for a larger diameter and the width you have. Parking stops become a challenge it's like parking a corvette lol. I haven't bottomed the crossmember or exhaust (yet) but with the Denali front bumper I installed it's pretty low. It's been on about five years and to be honest I can't believe I haven't fubar'd it on a parking stop yet

Just an update guys for future searches...
Got the truck lowered, caltracs, Eaton trutrac, and 15x10 with 295 MT Radials. Truck hooks pretty damn good. 4L60E is holding up thus far but I've got a 4L80E ready to go in when it lets go.
