I dont have these springs, I have Eibach 2 inch drop progressive rate springs but they gave me a 4 inch drop.

The bump stops can be replaced with smaller ones.

The spindle issue it more towards 15X8 wheels with 4 inch backspacing. If you have the 7 inch rally your fine.

I have the 8 inch wide rallys. So 2 inch spings gave u a 4 drop? I figured drop springs might be off a little but that's crazy
