I think I nailed it...
 
First off, I am sooo happy right now...last week, I rebuilt the front end of my truck and finished up the install of the djm 3" spindles, and djm flip kit...I also cut a coil off the front springs...well, I lowered it down on the ground and the rear was sitting on the bumpstops, but the truck looked good...I was hoping when I took the bumpstops out that it wouldn't lower it too much...

last night I took the bumpstops out of the rear and the rear end lowered down what seemed to be alot...so, I looked up under the truck and noticed that someone had pulled a leaf out of the leaf spring pack...I have another set of leaf springs that have the extra leaf in them, figured I'd just swap them out...

tonight my neighbor and I were out in the shop looking at the truck and he said the famous last words...just bring the front down to make it look even...soooo, I cut the front springs another 3/4 of a coil and it is PERFECT...
