5 inch rear springs drop
My title caught your attention didn't it ... These are on my 52 M3... Well.. I left the first 3 springs, then removed alternate ones for the next 3 and removed everything else. Pics show before and after. ... It dropped from 6.5" to 1.75".
Let me know if you have any comments/concerns. This is my first major build so I can def. use tips.
My work area:
After U-bolts came off:
After extra leaves came off:

This is a job generally best done with the bed and everything installed on the truck, otherwise you don't know where the final ride height will be when all the weight goes back on. Don't throw the leaves away, you might need to adjust a bit more yet.
That right hand jack stand in the first pic looks a bit of a scary angle!

Yeah I noticed the jack stand yesterday.. it moved a bunch when I dropped the rear end. That's not too hard to fix . I'm gonna try and finish up the rear springs today, mount the dana 60.. and try doing my brake lines today evening.

Would you recommend adding in a couple more of the smaller springs? I guess theres only one way to find out what would happen when I hit a bump with the dana 60
