Toying with the idea of lowering my '85 2.3L Short Bed...

I've got the Axle Flip idea...that'd be a good start.

What about the front...I WON'T cut the coils.

Does anyone make a proper 2" lowering coil?

How badly will my camber be impacted?

Well yeah. But a 5-6" drop in the rear and a 2" up front will look kinda silly.

It's best if you get a set of drop beams, they are just over $300, and have 3" of drop built into them with completely stock suspension geometry. The 2" coils can then be added with the help of eccentric sleeves for a net of 5" front drop. Which is what I plan to do with my 88.

I'm not going for so much drop. 2" in the front and I can flip the rear axle, with leaf shackle lifts to level it out
