Ahhh yes. Ontario roads. You have my sympathies! Lol!
Not trying to push or convince you on going lower, but most don't realize that Honda Civics have less ground clearance than my '98 dropped 4/7.
When lowering these trucks 4/6, it's not so much about ground clearances, but the distances between the tires & whatever's above them within the truck. 99% of which can be addressed fairly easily.
I got the wedges from a local parts supplier. Most suspension shops carry them too.
Or, if you don't mind waiting...

What's weird though, is that 4* or greater wedges come with the center bolts with the extended head, but not the 2* ones.
I tried to get away without extended head center bolts on the 2*'s. Didn't work. The factory ones were too short. One more reason why I've gotten proficient at taking all this apart!
IIRC, Summit does sell the E/H bolts separately.
So I should get the 4 degree, 2.5 inch wide ones? or will a 2 degree, 2.5 inch wide work fine...
According to belltech, when doing a 6" inch rear drop, a 4 degree shim is required. Im guessing I'll need a 2 or 2.5...
