Thanks for the info. What's the best way to get a 5 inch drop in the back? I was going to get a 4 inch kit with hangers and shackles. I know that a lot of guys recommend a c-notch with 5 or more inches or drop. Initially I was going to get a 5.5 inch rear flip kit from classic performace with a with a c-notch for the rear, and a 12 inch disc brake kit with 2" drop spindles and 2 inch coils for the front. I am also going with tubular control arms.

I think the 4/5.5 will be too low for my Dad's taste and also not enough rake for mine. Would you get 1 inch new coils or just cut my existing ones? On the rear should I get the 4 inch drop and remove a leaf? Do I need to c-notch? I don't really want any bottoming out issues.
