So I may have gotten a little carried away and went a little more than 2" on both sides and was wondering if there will be any problems with stock shocks. Specs were:

Driver Side-
(Before) Front 36-1/2", Rear 39-1/4"
(After) Front 36-1/2", Rear 36-1/2"
Passenger Side-
(Before) Front 36", Rear 38-1/2"
(After) Front 36", Rear 36-1/4"

I ended up cutting more than a coil and a half on both with a 4in angle grinder and took it for a test drive and all felt pretty smooth but didn't want to get to crazy for fear of dropping the springs. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

These trucks have sooooooo much travel your shocks should be fine IMO. I do find it a bit weird that your front end didn't lower a smidge, by virtue of a different rake angle. I lost 3/8" up front by dropping my rear as much as yours.
She sure looks purty tho! Nice work!!

Yeah I didn't overly inspect the front distance as thoroughly as the rear so it was a quick measurement up there, didn't think there would be much of a difference up front so I may recheck that. I couldn't believe the height difference between the corners, I may take it in for an alignment and tire rotation in a few days and see what they say. Bet both the springs fall out when they do the rotation!
