Awww, thats just precious.

Back when your truck had baby tires, and weak front legs.

I really don't know how you squeeze into that truck.

I despise mud. You gotta know the good trails around here. The mudders don't (because they can't fit their f250's in any jeep size trails)

It will be exceptionally tail low and instead of moderately tail low.

901's with 2.5" spacers will be about the same height as stock cruiser coils.

This will jack up your castor and make the truck a T-rex.

The best rears on these trucks is shown in my pics.
-Stock Cruiser Coils
-Rancho 5009 shocks
-Custom Panhard
-Panhard drop bracket
-Bent link to get around gas tank
-Skinnier driveshaft

The height this gives works well with little to no front lift, not a solid axle.

i've got great flex in the rear with my setup right now (901's). flyg, are you saying bad caster in the rear? i'm looking to do the lowest sas ever.

chimmike i don't mean to hijack i just think we have the same idea here.....

I think what I may end up doing is ordering the 3" springs and hiding my 4" springs in the garage until I properly lift the rear to equivalent levels.

We'll see though, yotasvg, what it looks like with the spacers on 901hd's when I'm done.

Check car-part.com I found one in tennessee for $200.

I'm ordering that 4crawler panhard drop bracket. That should help a lot.

Please continue to do swap homework.

Everyone on this site has ended up pretty close to the same lift height. The guy who tried to go really low ended up with issues. Regardless of other components, the rest of us are within an inch of eachother.

If the rear is way low, that impacts front caster.

The lower you go, the less compression you have. The less compression, the worse the ride.

The rear shock length and links have the biggest influence on rear flex. Look at those pics. WAY out of the fender well. I was sad to cut that off.

Just go long travel...
