Since i plan to convert the truck back into a driver and offroad toy i'm going to be offloading my lowering components. They include:
1. 1.5" billet aluminum blocks and matching u-bolts for rear
2. Beltech dropped shocks for the rear
3. Stock spring with 1 coil cut from each with a cut off wheel

I am keeping my front shocks which are Trailmaster SSV shocks for 2" front lift (leveling kit essentially). I originally bought them to work with a 2" skyjacker springs. They had enough stroke to work with the 2" drop in the front my "kit" provides so I'd assume stock shocks will work with a 2" drop in the front.

In any event i'd like $200 for everything. Let me know if you need any pictures of the stance of the truck or anything else. The truck still maintains a slight rake with this setup.

P.S. These pieces are still on my truck so it will be a week or so before I could get them to the purchaser.

P.P.S. The stock drive shafts do not need to be cut to use this kit. I still had pleanty of room between the end of the slip yoke and bottoming in the trans.

The blocks were purchased from a guy on ebay. I need to go back and see if I can find the link, guy made blocks of all kinds of sizes and shapes.

Coils were cut with a cut off wheel as stated before. What other details are you after regarding "how they are cut"? Pics of the cut may not be easy given the spring is in the truck.
 
How does it ride? With the front coils cut? Do you ever load it up? How does it ride and drive.
 
If you were closer I'd see if you wouldn't be interested in doing a swap for my 4.5" lift.
 
I tow about 5k with it and it's just fine, no issues at all. As i've told other members the truck rides great, afterall it's my daily driver so I wasn't interested in a ruff or bumpy ride.
