    Just wondering if your tires rub when you turn.

    so you have 2 inch a arms and 1/2 coil cut off your stock springs, right. did you take out your spring isolators?? Does your truck lean slightly to the driver side or is it level???

    The front Rubbed pretty bad with the 2" springs, after I took them out and replaced with the stock coils (- 1/2 a coil), it no longer rubs. (except for those occasional 70 MPH on/off ramps ). I still have the spring isolators. Yes the truck sits 1/4inch lower on the drivers side. Almost all trucks, and suv's lean one way or the other. My Tahoe actually sits lower on the passenger front.

    The truck is actually 3/4 " higher in the front than the rear when the helper bags are empty. You can't see it, probably because of the different tire size...

    DAAAMMMM!!! Looks sweet!!!!!!! Everyone that has the WC 4/6 Drop has had the same problem.

    I did replace the WC coils with stock and just today I put in some Hotchkis coils and I can say what a difference!!!!! They lower the front about 1/2 more then with the stock coils in and they ride GREAT!!!! It sits right at the top of the tire and rubbing isn't to much of an issue since the spring rating is higher.

    The WC coils in my opinion SUCK! I think their spring rating is less then our stock coils.

    I love how you put smaller tires on the front. You look like you are tucking. I'm jealous now, But your ride looks SWEETTTT!!!

    Did I miss the part where you posted what parts you used?

    Also could you please visit this thread and supply the correct measurements.
