3'' djm dreambeams with 1 coil cut out.
flipped front leafspring hanger in the rear and removed 1 leaf.
8 degree's of shim added to the rear to correct pinion angel.

tp, It's easy to get the 4 or 5 inch drop in the rear with the hanger flip.The challenge is the front,the beams give you 3 inches but when I cut my coils I got the negative camber I didn't like.So I ended up with stock coils and the I beams and a half flip in the rear.Keep us posted,Calvin
