I have a '00 2wd 4.7L CC w/ 235/65-15's all around. My current suspension mods are a Roadmaster Active Suspension in back and KYB Monomax shocks all around.

My current tire/well gap up front is 5" and 7.75" out back.

My idea is: Would putting R/T coils up front and hotchkis leafs out back give me my desired lowering (1/3). I plan on 255/55-17's on r/t rims here soon. With this in mind my gaps would potentially close to 3.00" front/3.75" back.

Will r/t coils actually give me a full inch up front considering the 4.7L weighs less than the 5.9L? Also...where can you get just r/t coils?

C, I would suggest you get the wheels and tires first then see what you get for gaps,then decide what you want for a drop.
Your tires would have to be 2"taller to close gap by 1"
My tires are 28"dia. advertised and 27" mounted from floor to the top of tire and I have 2.900" wheel gap with 2"drop coils(beltech).

I think you can get R/T coils on ebay but I don't think they will drop you as far as you want.

get the wheels and tires first then go from there
