We installed the 3/5 Mcgaughys kit and I don't know if it takes a while for the springs to settle, but the rear is up in the air...

At least 3" higher than the front...

I don't know what to do, but this ain't going to work...

The bump stops ARE cut, and proper lowered shocks installed...

When a couple of my buds get into the back it looks good, but right now it is crap!!!!

Do they make 6" drop coils??????

what size tire and how much wheel gap do u have? these things cant go much lower than 5" without some modifications. i have the same drop kit and the rear takes a few days to settle. what shocks are you running? did u leave the rubber isolators out on the rear springs?

Hey bro, I have the same kit. Honestly I want more drop too, but your springs/shocks will settle some. I don't know how much, mine seemed to be about 1/2 -3/4 in.
