good question about the OEM ride height......I don't have an answer, but it wouldn't do much good to buy 2" drop coil springs if the truck is already sagging an inch or more!

Maybe doing a 3"/3" drop would work if you can't find out what the OEM ride height was.....

My 2 cents.......

agreed, you could figure probably an 1" or so in drop over what you have now. You should decide if you want more or not now. If you do 3" beams up front that'll give you a solid 3". The rear could get a flip kit and lift shackles to bring it up to the height you want.

bag it...then you can ride with the the height at whatever you want....

I'm joking but you're looking at between 3/4" to an inch and a half of sag. When I did my coils on my 92...i got 7/8" of drop. That stat should help you. And I got Belltech 2" i didn't cut because cutters are quitters.

If you ever plan on bagging it go with the DJM 3 inch beams and your set for the future.
