thats one of those questions that should be answered after the front is lowered, because the ride difference could be different. I added 3\" leafs and blocks on the back and spindles and coils up front and the front sits a little lower in the front than the back maybe a 1\" or so.

If this is for your BB, I\'d ditch the blocks. Either get 3\" drop leafs for the back, or drop the cash for some steel blocks.



You will bust a aluminum block. And, after it breaks, the rear end will be loose, and thats not a good thing. Trust me, I found out the hard way.



When installing your spindles, I\'d recommend replacing the ball joints if they aren\'t relatively new. And yes, you\'ll need an alignment.
