4/6 or 3/4 drop?

[96blackswb]

Which lowering kit should I do? A 4/6 drop or 2/4 drop from mcGaughys? I plan on running a 20 inch US MAGS Rambler wheel and I need to know if The 4/6 kit with those wheels will work with no rubbing or any issues. Plan on putting 20x9 upfront and 20x10 or 11s in the rear. Any info will gladly be appreciated. The pics are what the truck currently looks like. 1996 Chevrolet Cheyenne 2wd (v6) wish it was a v8 lol.

How do I lower it to 7 in the rear? Flip kit and shakle?

If you use a BellTech flip with a drop shackle, you may possibly have to adjust the pinion angle with wedges.
Have to extend the spring's centering pin with a longer bolt & a nut cranked down, Loc-Tite'd & rounded off to the bolt's head diameter. This is so the (now longer) head will fit through the wedge into the spring perch's centering hole.
GM lists 4 lengths of centering bolts for 400's. 2 wheel drives use the shortest. Just buy the next longer. Cheap from the dealership. Under $5.00.
A DJM flip kit has an adjutable pinion angle.

#2 is what to aim for, as this is the best that it gets on a 400.

I’ve been leaning towards the McGaughys and I would like to use my factory rims and tires for awhile before I switch to the 20 US MAGS

This is my Phantom before the Dually Conversion with stock wheels and tires ...
DJM 4/6 drop with rear shock extenders.
Rides really good for a low rider ... Keep in mind, It will become a "Low Rider" ... Just Saying

Only problem I had with the stock wheels is I had to trim the lower control arm drip rails ...
Unfortunately, I haven't notched the frame on the ride. Just don't have Welding Skills.
Guess I'm fixing to get a crash course with my welder ... LOL
