Default How to Drop?

I have a 02 Sierra. With 20's, 275 45 20 tires. Have two inch shackles on back. Wondering how to lower front end one inch, and rear one more inch.

You can put 1" coils on the front but I'm not sure about the rear going 1 inch.

Might be able to get some adjustable shackles to go 3" in the back. I'd recommend just going 2-4 tho, I have the same wheel/tire size as you and it works fine and its not really that low. All you'd need is 2" springs and hangers for the back. You can use stock shocks on either 1-3 or 2-4.

Then again, it may be best to go for a full 2/4 drop. But there are companies like Eibach thatmake a 1" coil and a 1/2" shackle.

If you insist in a 3" drop, consider taking your leaf spring dearch it. That is what was done to my truck to get the last of 2" of my 4" rear drop.
