We did 2" drop spindles and 1.5" coils - and rear blocks on my brother's. Nitro drop shocks stiffened it up a lot. I think he paid about 600 for the parts

Dont forget that you get twice the drop as you shorten the coil. Also you want to close the coil end. The spring gets a little stiffer when cut too. About ont third of a coil will be 1" drop. (if you go that way)

Thanks bud. It sucks that such a simple thing could be in such a pita spot lol. I replaced the clutch & throw out bearing while the engine was out & didn't replace the slave becuase it looked damn near brand new. So I'm gunna see in the clutch pad is backwards or if he throw out is wrong or something otherwise might be replacing the slave & master cyl. Hoping the clutch is just backwards so I can kick my self but not have to spend any more money.
