You want to see 6" drop in front and 4" drop in rear or did you say it backwards?

This is actually 4/8 drop with 18/20 wheels. The additional 2" drop in the rear was necessary because the 20s were taller than his other tires.

That looks great but did you have to c notch the frame? I was really trying to avoid notching it.

Thanks you guys, It just came out of the paint shop. The color is a Chrysler color found on Jeeps and other models. The code is PRP and the color name is Deep Cherry Red Crystal Pearl.
