Re: lowering

4/6 would be about the lowest you would want to go with a static drop.

you might get away with 5 in the front, but i doubt you could go any lower than 6 in the rear without bags...

Re: lowering

I pulled up next to a '67 today that was sitting about 6/7. I aired up and went over the tracks without slowing down while he had to take them slow at an angle. The truck looked great, but I am so happy with bags.
