Should I got 2/4 or 4/5?
I have an 87 silverado shortbed. This summer I will be taking the bed off for body work and while the truck is laid up for awhile, I will be adding a lowering kit. Not sure if I want to go 2/4 or 4/5.
The truck is a daily driver. The most I ever haul in the bed are 2 dirt bikes. I do have an open 5x8 utility trailer I sometimes tow with various junk etc. The roads here in CT are not that friendly either. Basically, I don't tow/haul much but if one day, I wanted to hook up something like a car trailer (to probably bring home another Chevy Truck lol), I don't want to find out I can't because I lowered it too much. If I go 2/4, I will probably use 255/70/15 tires I have. If I go 4/5 I will swap on 235/60/15 tires I have. If I do the 4/5 I will absolutely put in a c-notch as well as new lowering shocks on all 4 corners. I don't want to be bottoming out. Basically, the pros and cons I see for each kit are: 2/4: Pros: Cheaper than a 4/5, no C-notch needed. Cons: May not be low enough 4/5: Pros: Will probably look better than a 2/4. Cons: More expensive than a 2/4, more work required, may ride a bit rougher up front since I would have to use lowering springs with the lowering spindles as well as possible alignment issues due to the springs). I know the 4/5 seems to have alot of cons for me, but the fact that a 2/4 wouldn't be low enough is also a big con for me. So, for a daily driver with occasional hauling/towing, which kit should I go with?
