Question about dropping the front end.

[br-time]

I apologize if this has been covered somewhere already, I did search around and didn't find anything that specifically answered my question though. My question is, if I move the lower strut mount to the bottom of the spindle, like is done with the 2/4 drop, but I do not use the 1/4" spacer, how much drop will I get? I saw a post where a member put up a diagram showing that spacers create double the lift/drop that they are in thickness. So if I do not install the 1/4" spacer that is provided with a kit, will I get 1.5" of drop rather than 2"? Any help would be appreciated.

I installed the McGaughys 2" drop shackles and removed the 1.25" block already, and the rear of the truck now sits .5" lower in the back. My hope is that by relocating the bottom strut mount for the front suspension, I'll get the truck back to being 1" higher in the back for a tiny bit of rake, and less wheel well gap.

Thanks in advance, this forum is awesome!

For anyone wondering the same thing I was, I went ahead and did the drop tonight and moving the bottom of the strut to the underneath of the control arm mount does in fact lower the truck by 1.5".
