I'm one of the few that has no desire for large wheels. I have 17" wheels with 275/60s.

Parts acquired so far = BT 2511 spindles, BT struts, BT shock extenders, DJM link relocation kit, Spohn PH bar
Need to get = alignment bushing, rear coils and rear shocks

I'm going to get Tony's 6" coils

What is the lowest I can go?

Will I run into problems?

The free travel mod, is that the only cutting involved?

Thanks

I shouldn't run into any rubbing issues, correct?

What other options are there for shocks? I would like to keep it on the firm side.

Do the bump stops come with the coils?

Thanks Tony.

I'm sorry, not sure what your first sentence meant to say.

I'll be ordering the coils/bumps this weekend.

Sorry changing front springs will stiffen it up.

Gatcha.

I'm wondering if I should get new coils for up front to. Everything else will be new accept the front coils.

The rears are going to firm, right?

Add swaybar in rear and front you will be happy. That's 385 makes big difference
