I suspect there are slight variances at stock ride height that are multiplied as the clearance geometry changes. I wouldn't sweat it; probably if you polled everyone else with that drop they would say "Oh yeah, didn't notice that before." I'm convinced only the most discerning eyes will catch this sort of anomaly.

Curious on your impressions of the front coils? Ride is okay? McGaughys doesn't have the best reputation on front coils since they aren't progressive, but nobody does a spindle drop better than them. I like the SOS front end application but McGaughys rear. Wish I could have half of each.
Thanks. Someone suggested that the axle may have shifted when unbolting the leaf pack.

Front coils seem fine. Have not run over severe bump or potholes but I can see where it could be jarring. So far ride has been pretty close to stock -- a little firm. May have something to do with the 45 series trires, too.
