So I'm stuck between a 2" drop and a 1.5" drop but I want to run 275-40-18s. What springs would you guys recommend. I want to keep my tires but I don't want to have rubbing and I have 18x10.5 in the rear and 18x9 in the front. All input will be greatly appreciated thanks.

Yes sir and I like the 2" drop but I'm not sure if it will rubb with my side wall since its 40. That's why I'm unsure and if it rubs then I'm going to need to be tires with 35 side walls. Plus I look at some picture I found online but they don't say there tire sizes
