It doesn't sit level? Is it supposed to be like that ? I did the 2" drop and mine sits perfectly level.

It did not sit level. I started with a 1-1/2" rake. So when it came down 1-3/4" in back because of 2" drop springs it was (and looked) slightly rear saggy--the front also came up slightly, about 1/8".

Yeah, your hoe looks damn good.

I dont really want to get into a full lowering setup (with the front too), but an inch or inch and a half lower in the back is what I am after. Any kits that do that? Or would it be OK/possible to do the 2" in the back and then adjust the air shocks so they keep it up a half inch or so?

You can adjust the air shocks, but then the ride gets stiff/goes all to heck.

You can also do a 2" spring with a 1" spacer. I'm not sure what those results would net? I never did find a 1/2" spacer--I looked quite a bit for one as that is what I was also searching for.

Tony might be able to cook something up for us that can't do a down in the weeds stance, but also don't like the rear all jacked up?

Pardon my ignorance, I am much more at home at the lifted vehicle spectrum. But, if these springs offer up to a 4" drop, and only a 1" spacer comes with it, how the heck do you get to a 1" drop overall (or even 2")? Using the air shocks?

You wouldn't. You would have to use a 2" spring with a 1" spacer. The air shocks couldn't lift that much.

Hm. Well the kit states it a 1-4.5". Fibbers?!

I don't think fibbers. You would have to ask Tony how he gets the range. I think he uses a 3" spring and then a 1" spacer top and bottom... (2 @ 1" each).

But you would have to ask him for sure. He might "arrange" each one depending on what the customer wants?
