Default lowering springs-

Hi, I want to lower my 1988 D150 1" front and 3" back. But all springs I see are usually like 1.5" front and 2" back. The ones where it is a 3" drop in the back is usually 2.5" in the front. My back is way higher then the front by stock. How can I solve this.

Reads through this thread https://dodgeforum.com/m_1091850/tm.htmLots of info.
My bet is 1 ton front lower control arms, and a flat rear spring.

The cheapest and easiest way would be to cut the front coils. I'd try about 1/2 a coil. If you are going to buy springs anyway, why not give this a try? For the rear, get a set of drop shackles, and maybe take out a leaf if that isnt enough.
