I know for the back I am just going to do an axle flip, but for the front should I buy a set of charger lowering springs or somethin? I don't really want to end up with 4 springs and only be able to use two of them cause I wouldnt know what to do with the rears from the charger kit.

OR, should i have the coil springs that are on my rampage cut?

Lemme know what you guys have done...

easiest: get GLH/SC springs ; stiffer and lower; hmm I have a pair in my garage

or cut a coil or 1.25 from your stockers ; stiffer and lower

may as well put new struts in too

I used a set of Mopar Performance L-body Autocross front springs-
part # P4120968 (one per)- to lower a GLHT front end a little over 1 1/2 "'s
They're probably still available through the dealer if the parts-person knows how to look them up.

I cant remember how much the axle flip lowers the back...but thats what is going to determine how much I want to lower the front....is one coil equal to 1.25 inches? Sorry if thats a dumb question but thats the impression I got from detobias

it depends on the car, which coils it has, etc

cut one coil then check out the ride height
if U want more drop, cut another .25

I do know 1.5 coils off a V6 2WD 93 Dakota is *too* much, brought it onto the bumpstops %)
