Okay, I've had the Beltech 2/4 Drop kit on my truck for now over a year. I love the look, I got new tires and now I want a 3/5 drop. I still have the factory 20" wheels wrapped with Toyo Proxes S/T 275/55/20. The factory is a 275/60/20, so now I have an extra 1/2" gap between the tire and fender. Of course I will be cutting the springs all around. But how much spring do I cut off from the front and rear? Will I need shorter bumpstomps rather than the provided bumpstops I got from the kit?
Once I do this drop, I plan on ordering the Spohns adjustable upper and lower control arms with the panhard bar. Appreciate all the help I can get!

When I had mine at 3/5 I cut 1/2 coil in front and 1 full coil in the rear. It's recommended to replace the bump stops, this is what you need...

How was the ride quality? I remember reading a thread about the 3/5 drop and you was involved, can't find it anymore. Good information from that. Did you have the Beltech kit?

Yes Belltech, ride quality was stiffer than stock but again I'm use to sports cars so that was ok.
This time around I'm doing the Belltech springs with QA1 shocks all around

Could you take and post a side shot for me, I'm trying to decide if I want to run a 20" wheel and low pro tire with it. curious on how it will fill the wheel well with the rim to tire ration.
