4/6 drop

Im lookin to drop my '78 Long box. I cannot decide on how much of a drop I want to do. Id really appreciate it if people would post a pic or two of their drops, and how much theyre dropped. Or point me in the right direction to find some pics! Thanks a lot.

Here's mine. It's a 5/5. The front is 3" djm drop spindles and I cut a coil off the factory springs which gives you about 2", and the rear is a flip kit.

Re: 4/6 drop

That 5/5 looks pretty good!

And yeah, the reason the thread is called 4/6 is because thats what i was leaning towards, but havent decided forsurly.

I like that thread for drop ideas. It gives the amount and the method that was used to achieve it. I found it to be pretty helpful.

Re: 4/6 drop

Western Chassis 4/6.... Front seems a tad higher than the rear though which I don't like.... but it may be because of the skinny 235/60/15 on the front.
