I'm going to do lowering struts and spindels for a four inch drop in the front.

I don't know maybe it was my bumpstops but I had all except one ring removed and spindles, couldn't get more than 3" drop. I ended up swapping out the belltech struts for coil relocators and got to 4". I had DJM 3" arms before and the fender heights were exactly the same as with the belltech struts and spindles...

I didn't like the ride either, not trying to poop on your thread, just want to throw all considerations out there. I've had multiple front combos and the spindles/coil relocators rides the best.

supposedly coil relocators do pretty damn good. just need to decide what setup you're gonna run on the rear.

yes, you have to have that one spacer on there for 2" drop. I'm thinking of removing mine just cause I want that little bit lower.
