    Hey all, I can give measurements that you can compare to your trucks..

    my set up:
    Hotchkis front coils, std cab (aka Lightning) Hotchkis rear leaf springs, QA-1 shocks (4), shock extenders, Helwig rear bar (for now)....(sorry I am not home so I don't have the part #'s)

    there is only 1 front coil that I know of. 2 different leaf springs from Hotchkis .. I have the STD cab/Lightning leaf springs... just to be perfectly clear.

    16.5" fender to wheel center front & rear completely level

    with the load assist air bags set at "carrying weight" the rear is 17" & the front at 16.25" (only when I am on the road for work)

    I cannot speak for drop. At this point my many suspension adventures have left my brain incapable of anything more than telling you all this:

    GET a complete kit from one company, get shocks & everything as much as you can from ONE kit....

    The Hotchkis (f/r springs & sway bars) is the one exception. with the QA-1 shocks it is indeed the ultimate handling.

    Rob
