I was in the same predicament; purchased spacers 25mm front and 38mm back with ISF wheels. I recently changed rims and dropped 1.2" all around using Sage RCA kits. And it was less than $500, DYI.

hey guys Ive been on TTE springs since 2010 and I think I want to lower the front end just a little bit more, which spring gives the most drop? Any draw backs to keeping the TTE's in the back but swapping out the fronts?

I would recommend keeping the TTE springs all around...and getting a smallest RCA kit for the front if you want it dropped it bit. The great thing about the RCA kit is that its an easy mod. Just remove 2 bolts on each side...lift the hub/brake assembly...place the RCA block onto the lower ball joint...then place the hub/brake assembly back down...and secure in place with the new longer bolts. Good luck.
