Mine is a 2" drop all the way around and its on tokico blues. Its not that stiff. I'm use to slowing to a crawl cuz of my 5.5gen over speed bumps and uneven pavements. If ur not use to riding/driving pretty low then u got some trial & error to do.

If you get those springs and they work good let me know so that way I can get a set, I want to drop mine a little.

Enjoy. Like my 5.5 it has the same ground clearance. I can barely get the low profile jack under the car.

Yes. Just wait. You'll be satisfied when its done settling. You might have to roll the fenders.
