I have a 2014 R/T SBSC. I put ground force 2" rear drop springs and shocks on it. The truck looks like it is sitting level now 1/2" lower in front, but the optical illusion looks like it is sitting higher in front. Looking for a recommendation. Thinking about Crown Suspensions 1" drop front springs. Or would I be better off going with drop spindles? Does anyone have any experience with CS 1" front drop springs?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Most do a 2/4 drop which looks even. Any reason you opted for just the rear?

Didn’t want to get that radical. thought I would be able to leave the front in alone but not the case.

3/4" jeep spacers under the rear springs. Inexpensive and work great!
I installed these under my 2" lowering springs. I noticed the same thing and didn't like the look either.
Looks PERFECT now!

Agreed. That would be the easiest fix.

brother I think you'll lower the front some more, then the rear will look too high, and you'll be back out in the rear again and cutting those coils. I'm sure you got the desired effect from the lowering rear coil swap (I know I'm very happy with the result) and so at some point it's time to just leave, it, alone.
