    I guess they wanted to drop the axle, not the car. LOL!

    Glad you got it sorted out. So it should drop 4" from where it is now if they're really 2" dropped springs.

    Turns out they sent me standard height springs. So I'm going to have them send me 3 inch drop this time which will put me at approximately 4.5 inches from axle to bottom of frame. Adding the missing weight and spring settling should give me a true 2 inch drop form oem with the heavier rated springs.

    With a pair of 2" ratchet straps, you should be able to pull the body down to the appropriate distance, then tighten the fasteners to the proper torque values that way, you wouldn't have to stack a bunch of weight in the back end.
