2/4 or 4/6? on my LWB
Need help. Need to lower my truck. Anyone have any examples of what either drop will look like? Any white lwb trucks out there already dropped.
Please help. Also, whats the cheapest way to go. Is cutting the spring forbidden? Is it gonna give me a real rough ride? |

Re: 2/4 or 4/6? on my LWB
2/4 on a LWB, and get the right kit will make it look good and still ride good. OFF set spindles and flip kit in the rear. The ride wont suffer and will still have the SLEEEEK look of the LWB yet still user friendly
BTW we are neighbors, Im just south of you

Re: 2/4 or 4/6? on my LWB
IMO i would go with the 2/4. I plan on dropping mine some time in the next month also and im going with the 2/4. the 4/6 is just too low IMO, but to each his own. Its all about personal prefrence.
From your photos, it looks like we are in the same area. Greenspoint/Aldine/Spring ??

Re: 2/4 or 4/6? on my LWB
4/6 and it's still very daily drivable. With the amount of work needed to drop these trucks, why not go 4/6, instead of 2/4 and later wishing you went lower. If you want to go lower with a 2/4, the front is easy, just add some drop coils, but the rear, you would have to put the oem hangers back on, and then flip the axle.... lots of work when it could have all been done from the start.
Go 4/6. Noticeably lower, VERY daily drivable.
