I just sold a 2007 that I dropped 2 in using offset bracket on front struts and lowing springs on rear struts. Needed more drop to allow for ease of entry. Be careful using dropped rear springs, as your cargo carrying capacity goes away.

That's why I suggest custom coils

Transmission swap is finished. Short test drive and as I expected, the rear coil struts the previous owner installed give a very harsh ride. The front glides over bumps then the rear hits very hard like a 1 ton truck. I’ll have to do something soon.

I cut one coil off each spring on my 04 and it turned out amazing dropped it about 3” all the way around

I wish my 08 didn’t have tapered coils or I’d do this to it. That looks really good.

I’ll have to look at mine again, but I though the last coil gets smaller for the perch?
