I dropped the hitch and pulled the blocks out and swung the leafs far enogh to the outside to remove the top bolts. I also put shackles which makes it a little lower than the front. It took about an hour. Ordering spindles today. I'm thinking McGaughy's...

So what is everyone, who is going with a 3" rear drop, going with on the front?

I seen belltech offers this: http://www.stylintrucks.com/part.aspx?partid=533740

I figured a 1/3 drop on my 10' rcsb would be a a good minimal drop. Any thoughts on this or anyone who has went through this same/similar experience?

With my RCSB, if I were to drop the front, I'd have to do a min. of 5/6" rear drop. From factory the rear was 4" higher than the front. I just have the 3" rear and it still sits 1" higher out back.

I'd measure my fender heights, but I'd bet if you go with a 1/3, you're going to have a ton of rake still.
