2 words...durability and reliability!!!! do it once and do it right. the early classic 4/6 is a great start with drop springs is the only way to do it right and safe. a 2.5 drop spindel with a 2 in drop front spring will last another 20 years. springs for the rear. if you want a little more use no more than a 1 in block. i have both and 7's and 10's on mine. 235/60 and 295/50 tires, no rubbing and bottoming out rides new and tight and i dont have to worry or adjust...just drive. also you may have not thought about exhaust yet....header will drag. i uses stock horns and still have 6 in of ground clearance.
