I just put on 3" belltech front coils on my xtreme and planning on putting 2" spindles later. What would leavel it out now and when I put the spindles later. And is the 3" coils a bad ideah?
I was thinking 2" blocks for now but dont want to change the leafs when I put on the spindles. What the best set up.

heres my setup, 2" drop spindles, cut one coil off the front springs, and 3" blocks in the rear...plus lower pro tires due to clearance cuz the stock tires i had were a 215/75/15 and now i have 215/65/15 and they r perfect...heres some pics of my truck and as u can see some of the pics are older by the dates but the drop is still the same

LowSDime.....are your springs std or ZQ8? He has a Xtreme and probably the stock ZQ8s. So your setup would have a different outcome by cutting the coil off than his. Just thought Id point that out =)

Damn LowS10 nice ride dude. I think the ZQ8 has 1.5 in lower than stock. I just put on the coils and the drop diffrence is almost an inch from stock. But I had the 2.2 ZQ8 coils and the wheight from the 4.3 lowered it a bit. I'm going to guess that 2" blocks might work alright. I'l measer them laterz. Darn spindles didnt want to come off so I droped the lower arm haha.

Ok I got a question for you guys. After taking off my coils I noticed after the fact that my 2.2 ZQ8 coils are the same size of the 4.3 ZQ6 coils that I was told was not the same drop. Darn now I'm goin to take the 3" belltechs off and throw on the ZQ6 coils and probly put spindles on later.
