Well.......Swing and a Miss. Installed these JDM Drag springs on red. Uncut and with a 1" spacer on the driver side, within 4 hours they settled to where the truck was resting on bump stops and I couldn't fit my first under the bumper. I wish they held the stance they had when I first installed them, but for the now the old springs are back on... I'm 0-2 for drag springs, did get some pictures though with her low. Also modified the rear shackles to make them longer, dropped the rear another 1".

Looked good, but within a week it would have around 2-3" of ground clearance.

First Install, later in the day the 20" were inside the wheel well.
