Lowered my truck :(
Well i finally got around to lowering it, and i will say its a bitch by yourself, in the rear i have the 2" shackles, the 2" spring hangers, and no overload, well for now i decided to cut my fronts, and right now im about a 1-1/2 lower in the front, than the rear. I have searched and found there is no way of getting another inch out of the rear, so question is, would the spring spacers work for me up front? i believe they are 1 inch.... will get pics up tomorrow, thanks guys

This wont sound fun but flip kit is the answer.
I did lowered my truck on my own too, it sucked.
So either get new springs up front to actually put you at 3" or undo the back and flip it

how much did you cut btw?
if you decide to go with a flip kit and need to sell your hangers and stuff.. I'm wanting a set of hangers.. I need another 2 inches out back.
