Another one followed me home today...

But is was so clean and cheap I had to buy it.

1996 RCLB with 5.0 Vortec/Auto trans. Full power everything and AC.
97K miles and perfect grey cloth interior.
Gotta get rid of the shell and going to lower it. Thinking about a 2/4 so it can still haul stuff like MoparMat2000.

Or should I just 4/6 it?

Nice. But dont just toss that shell.
Color matched shells are really hard to find.
Especially in that color.
Not only is it friggen cool.
Up here thats anywhere between 600 to 800 bucks for junk broken garbage
If its clean thats a 1600 buck shell.
Maybe more.

I like a little rake so I would drop it 2-2. But it's not my truck is it?

And the groceries stay dry!

And, if it all absolutley goes to hell.
You can sleep in it.
Really no downside to keeping it.
And you would really have a hard time finding another one.
Dont throw out functional cool expensive parts

No worries about the groceries getting wet in my Tahoe.

Will strongly re-think ditching the shell. Just gotta get creative with finding some storage for the shell.

Thanks for the input !!

And that 2/2 is a really easy drop too...
Those front hangers - Ughh..

Thanks for getting me thinking

Don't forget to notch the cross sills!

If the question is 2/4 or 4/6, the answer is always 4/6.

If you 2/4 it (shackles/hangers rear) then decide to 4/6, you gotta battle put your stock stuff back, that is, if you didn't destroy it chopping it out, or throw it away.. and then do the flip kit, to get the drop you really wanted all along.
