98 b2500 2” front lower

[Bosstralia]

Hey y’all I’m hoping to flip my rear leafspring brackets and I’m wondering what My options are for lowering the front to match the rear based on my research on this site I’m looking to lower it about two”. I have the independent coil spring front suspension. Thanks for all the advice. Sorry if there is an article addressing this, I’ve searched the forum and counting answer feel free to link threads if they have the answers. Thanks again.

Buy lowering springs or cut the springs that are in it. There might be lowering spindles available.. not sure. Will probably need camber bolts to bring it back into alignment.

Alright, seems straight forward enough. How much camber would I be looking at? thinking I might be able to get away without the re-alignment bolts...

Do you know what your present camber angle on the front wheels is?
Factory is approx -.5 degree to +.25 degree. If you drop the front 2" (cut springs/lowering springs) you'll upset the camber angle a lot. Expect to see the camber go to near -2 degrees. Even the optional extra angle eccentric bolts (-2 to +2) can't guarantee that the OEM spec will be attainable.
Take a close look at the factory eccentrics (cams) to see where they are positioned & where they place the upper control arm bushings. If the bushings are near next to the outer limit of the installed factory eccentrics then you more than likely run into an issue getting the original camber angle again.

Been there, done that, dropped the front 1 1/2", couldn't get the factory angle back again, the closest I could come was -1 degree, my solution was a major relocation of the brackets welded to the frame.
