Gonna more than likely do a 2/4, maybe a 4/6 but I want it to ride decent and for that I will more than likely need to do a C section which increases my cost by a bit.

Dont know how much it will run me to lower it yet. The thing that sux...its got BRAND NEW KYB Shocks with lifetime warranties on them lol. Those will be of no use when its lowered lol.

Oh yeah..Everything worked out for the best $$ wise on teh truck that got stolen...but I miss it. NEver saw it again, I did however see my stolen wheels/tires about 2 years later on a 58 cadillac about 10 miles from my house. It still had the same nail in the right rear tire lol.

I dont know if I ever told you all but the gold truck *in my avatar* I had and sold...the DAY AFTER I sold it, it got stolen from the new owner !!! DOH! But it was recovered...a mess but he got it back. ITs still not fixed.

The KYB's aren't of "no use" if you're creative. My 74 is 5/7 using stock front shocks so a 4/6 is cake (especially the front). As for the eternal question "to notch or not to notch", mine's not & there are few roads where I'm happy about that decision.

A 4/6 is very 'do-able' w/o the rear notch but you'll be load limited most likely. The front shocks require a simple upper shock relocator that bolts to the side of the frame slightly higher than than OE. The last pic is pretty clear on where the stock shock stud-hole was vs. my relocated mount . . ....
