Not any good fender gap shots
It rides fine. Taking out the overload an putting in a hellwig traction sprig should get me the extra 3/4 inch I need out back. It has a good bit of rake. I don't remember the fender to hub measurements. With the left rear spring spacer (GM), it's got 1/2" chevy lean front and rear. No bueno.

hokey *** 3" drop springs suck big donkey dicks get spindles and enjoy full suspension travel and maintain stock alignment specification
the difference in cost dosen't justify the sacrifce in ride quality can you say buck board
ps your truck looks fine the way it sits
and for the record changing spindles dosen't alter camber caster or toe

Mine aligned perfect. Still has some room to go positive on the camber cams. To make it ride decent, cut the metal part of the stock front bumps back and trim the rubber down. If you make it flat instead of a stock like triangle, it will ride poorly. Handles and rides great. No bump steer. But again, if you're going to do 4" rear drop, 2" up front is what you want to sit alright.

well that gets me thinking, i might order drop spindles now, only reason i got the coils was because i had 16'' rims at the time. now i have 18''s and can run the spindles

My front bump stops had a metal c around the base. That part is rubber coated too. I cut the metal down. Then trimmed the part that touches the control arm, but shaped it to be a triangle like factory. This keeps it progressive in rate. I've had 660 pounds (me one of em) of dudes in the cab and the bed loaded and it's never bottomed up front with the trimmed metal. Not sure how to load the front more without a plow or ranch hand and winch. The roads around here are terrible and I don't drive like a blue hair either. I only took about a 3/8" off of the metal c-channel. Rides better than stock height with z85 shocks and bilsteins at stock height then them with 1" drop via cutting half a coil round. No hoopty front end bounce like with the bilstein hds either. Running summit (ground force) shocks all around now.
