So I get my complete front end rebuilt, UMI tube control arms with 1/2 inch upper ball joints, Moog 5660 springs, KYB gas shocks, new steering kit, 245/45X17 wheels/tires. And the Blazer brake swap.The front end is higher than the rear with the Moog 5613s. I was concerned about this. Now I have to take it ALL APART to cut the 5660s. I just can’t win !!!!

Using a straight edge on top of the front tire in the center, the fender lip is 3 3/8s above the tire. The rear measures 1 1/4. According to what I recall reading on here I’d have to cut off half a coil to get a close match on ride height, correct?
