Smile 4"or5"

Just a quick question.. I'm lowering my 72 1/2ton chev and was wondering if I should go 4 or 5 in the rear??? I'm doing a 3" spindle in the front and its a long bed. Anybody got a pic or two to look at??? suggestions are always welcome

Re: 4"or5"

at least 5" you will want a 6" after a few months.

Re: 4"or5"

Going low is a disease. You might as well drop it all the way to begin with and save time and money in the long run. Biggest mistake I made on my '03 was doing a 2/4 instead of a 4/6. I liked it for about a month and then wanted it lower. I'm at 4.5/5.5 on my 67 and I'm wanting bags..... It's not low enough.

Here's mine with a 2.5" dropped spindle and a 1" dropped coil in the front. The rear has 6" dropped coils.
