Porterbuilt Questions, Trailing arms & crossmember

I see porterbuilt offers 1" drop and 3" drop trailing arms. Any benefit of going with a 1" vs 3" ? My truck has 3" coils in the back right now. I'm looking to get lower and may end up bagging it in the future.

Also can someone that have their tubular crossmember take a measurement for me? What is the width between the 2 brackets that the trailing arms bolt to?

Unless you are using a large step notch,... there is no need to use the 3" drop trailing arms.
The 1" version will work fine with a stock frame or a bolt in c-notch.

The distance between the two trailing arm mounts is 6.375"

Thanks guys. I just picked up some porterbuilt parts from a forum member. I'll snap some pictures as I install them next week.
