Default Lowering spring question

I am about ready to purchase a set of springs and shocks for my Box. I want to drop it about 1.5" - 2". Not sure which springs I will go with yet. In using lowering springs, will I have any problems with hauling people and/or junk in the back? This is my daily driver and it sees a couple of road trips a year. I don't want to loose my capability to hauls stuff around.

Thanks

I have lowered my box 3 inchs and i really dont have any trouble even when there is five people and my speaker box in the ride. I guess it depends on what size wheel and tire you are riding on. Ionly have have 17 inch wheels with 40 series tires.I love it.

i got my spring at www.ssuperstore.com. it depends on the spring rate. they all have different rate. the tanabe's have a great ride its not bouncey at all but it is rougher than stock but not much. in the suspension form the is a few pages on the tanabe's you should look there and see what everybody else thinks.
