Whats up guys need some feed back here. I want to drop my truck with hotchkiss 4/6 drop springs only because i read that dropping with spindles causes rubbing issues with 15x8 rallies. I seen that alot of the guys on here use the ECE 4/6 kit. Is there any issues with 15x8 rallies? The plan is to ride on the stock rims until the beginning of next year then put on some cpp drop spindles with Baer brakes and rotors at the four corners. I know that i will have to change out the front springs to a 2" drop so i can keep the total of 4" drop in the front. Another thought would be to use ZO6 brakes and rotors. Is that possible and what is involved?
