Half way through my drop

I got a complete kit from Early classic a few months ago. I had time to lower the rear today. My kit was a 2 1/2 drop in front and 4 in the back. It included the rear shock relocation, adjustable panhard bar, shocks, etc. Really happy with the quality. Can't wait to get the front lowered! It has greatly changer the attitude of my 69 SWB.

I've been looking at ECE kits, and such for a about a month now tying to make decisions...
I want to go with the 5" drop kit in the rear, but I'm worried about hitting the bump stops all the time.
How much travel do you have between the axle and bump stops w/ the 4" drop.
Did you get spindles for the front?

Sounds like a real nice truck!
I need to get the a$$ end put back together, on mine, so I can get it to the paint shop.
If you have 6" I should (in theory) have 5", which should be fine as well.
Thanks.
Have Fun!
Erik
