Help with static drop dimensions - truck is too low
I removed the viking coilovers and strongarms from my red truck, and replaced with OEM lower control arms, belltech 2"drop coils,and belltech SP shocks. The truck still has the belltech 2" drop spindles that it had with the coilover setup. So to summarize, just 2" lowering springs and 2" lowering spindles.
With the coilover setup in the front, I was 15.0" hub to fender on all 4 corners of the truck and the rear was a 6" flip kit. I was expecting to set the truck down and have 15.5" or maybe 15.0" again, but when I set it down the drivers side was 14.0" and the passenger side was 14.5" and I cannot even drive the truck it just rides on the tires.
Here are the springs I have: https://www.belltech.com/belltech-99...rop-23408.html
I did not install the OEM upper isolator because the instructions below. I only have the spring and the black 1" spacer from belltech in the spring pocket.

SPRING DISTANCE SPACERS Belltech’s new application specific “Spring Distance lift spacers” are manufactured by a specialized injection process. Belltech offers an exclusive spacer system engineered with spring contours to dissipate the spring load evenly over the whole spacer surface. All spacers are designed to lift your vehicle by 1”. This could be used to lift your factory ride height as well to adjust an existing lowering. The ease of installation makes this a great 1” lifting solution! Spring distance spacers will replace the O.E.M. top isolator.
Any ideas?

I read about a shop having the same problem with the belltech springs. Their solution was to fab an additional spacer rather than replacing the spring as they seemed to like the 940# spring rate.
