Lifted my 99 recently. Used s10 bastard pack in the back. used thunderbird coils up front...
Stock is front 17" back 17.5" from center of wheel to fender flare no?
Now i have 22" in the front and 21" in the back... Meaning I have 5 inches of lift up front and 3.5 inches in the back.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get these http://www.liquidironindustries.com/...e=0&featured=Y I've heard about half an inch from those in the back. But I still need to come down like an inch in the front.

Long story short, How do I lose one inch of lift in the front?

it will be hard to lose an inch unless you modified the front coils or got different coils or stock coils and a spacer, it would be easier to gain an inch in the back...just throw a bigger shackle in the back.

im not 100% sure if that is a good idea, maybe someone here would be able to help me with that, but i think the best bet is a shackle or like i said stock springs with a spacer to make up the difference

Only paid like $50 for these springs so I guess it wont be too bad to lose them if I have to. Was a pain in the *** to install though haha

Why not pick up 2 inch shackle from rc. They're cheap. Or add more leaf/leaves.

Stock should be 17-1/2" front and 17" back.

Haha yeah I'll remember this. I had to compress these springs to a point I wasn't comfortable handling them anymore to get them in.

just cut a coil off of the bottom of the spring in the front with a chop saw or cutoff wheel
