BMR has some new front lower A-arms that lower the front 1", without losing any shock travel.
Umi also will hopefully have a set out early 2011.

my rear sits pretty low to begin with just dont want it to low after i do the rear and some of the rear suspension. the front i want it just a tad lower then the rear so its staggered and has an aggresive stance. the main problem is there is to much of a gap between the wheel and wheel well. anybody have any more suggestions that can take care of this on a budget? and pics of your setups?

IMO, wait until you get the new 9" rear installed since the rear will probably sit a little higher afterward, and you could also run a slightly tall front tire to fill the fender gap more.

Your rear will come up with the 9" installed as the springs will be sitting on larger diameter axle tubes than with the GM rear. FWIW.

You might be able to just cut a coil off of the prokits? Not really sure if that would affect the structural integrity of it. As far as recommending other springs I'm really not sure. I think eibach prokits do a good job of lowering on there own not sure whose springs get lower.
