Post Stock Shocks with a 2" Drop

Can the stock Decarbons handle a 2" drop? Also what 2" drop spring maintains a close rate to stock? I wan't to go down 2" but don't want to sacrifice traction. Any suggestions?

The only traction advice I can give you is to get some BMR CONTROL ARM RELOCATION BRACKETS. Those will help get back your lower control arm angle, and help with traction.

I have a 2" drop, and also have the BMR Relocation Brackets. It does help, but with my 4.10s, I've never seen that much traction anyways.

Im running Sportlines with stock shocks and it feels fine to me.The ride is not harsh but it does tend to bounce on bridges and such.
