Mine is down around 3.5" in the front and it required a spindle & spring. It's actually lower than I wanted, but I couldn't find a 1" drop spring so I got a 1.5.
I guess I was not clear. I have 2" drop spindles and 2" springs. I think it is comming down a little.

BTW, do I need to trim the bump stops?

I never trimmed mine, but I probably should. I have to be really careful or my tires will pull down the inside of my fender lip. I didn't want to give the suspension any more travel than it already had.

with a 2" spring, it isn't necessary to cut your bump stops. But, it's real easy..........
