I'd try just the shocks first. The new ones you got tend to drop the front somewhat by themselves...

If it does drop with just springs bout how much you think it will come down?

Depending on what you were going to spend on shocks I would suggest saving up and getting a coil over kit, since you are worried about the ride height too - then you can adjust it to just where you want it

I bought the competition engineering 3 way adj., but how much is a coilover kit? that might be somethin i could do later on.

the ride height looks good leave it til you do the back, cut one hoop out of coil drops about an inch . put coil in bucket of water up to cut heigth

I have set of Moroso Trick frt drag springs for sale. Cut 1 coil, installed but never left the shop. They were too soft for my ext cab truck, but would be great for a reg cab sbc truck. Part number #47205.
