And my sig is 4/7 on 20's.

My opinion, just from owning trucks with both drops, is go 4/6! I wish that I had done that first to my '97 (the blue one). The only reason that I haven't is because of time constraints, & for the fact that I am not looking forward to re-doing the front spring hangers. A major PITA!!! When it does get the 4/6, I will be cutting the front coils, due to the increased spring rate. 2/4 is not enough! You'll want to go lower after 1 season. Really! You will!

One other thing, though. On a 4/6, I recommend a small bed crossmember notch.

I really appreciate all the input fellas but I think I'm gonna go ahead with a 2/4 .... two reasons 1 I'm really not going for low just a better stance and 2 I assume if a four six needs a notch then at least a small piece of the frame needs to be cut to allow for the notch, unfortunately I don't have the tools to do that plus I don't have slot of dough and the 2/4 seems to be a cheaper route. but on another note I plan on painting the truck but not for some time so it's gonna stay in primer for a while, I'm gonna paint my steelies this weekend what do you think would look good with the gray primer red or black

I have NEVER bottomed out on a 4/6 and roads are not that great here where I llive either. I have the bolt in notch too, but to me a 2" drop in the rear is hardly even noticeable. IMO.. lol

Here is the bolt in notch.. Very easy to do.

I have not looked at what ebay posting you had or the price, but here it is like 200 bucks to do a flip kit which IMO is cheap! lol

word way easier to notch then swap those front hangers

 

[bow61509]

ok if it's easier than I'm all in on the six but how does the notch work I understand it bolts to the frame. but then you have to remove that little section where the actually notch is correct? and what's the best way of doing So I because like I said I have no way to cut anything

after you flip the rear cent the notch over the axle and mark the area to cut I used a cut off wheel and sawzall then after its cut I stuck the notch back back up marked the holes. I then used a small stepper bit and drilled the holes bolted em in place......I add some welds but not necesarry Ima regret it I think when I put in step notches. To flip the rear I put jack stand under the shackles cut the old u bolts off the rear undid the driveshfat and pulled the leaf packs. I kept a floor jack under the rear the whole time the when I pulled the leave I swapped in from over the leaf to under bolted em back in thats were the jack come in real handy. after I got the leafs swapped I put the new hardware for the axle on tightened eveything up and put the drive shaft back in
