how many problems with a four six drop?

i'm thinking about doing a 4-6 drop and was wondering if anybody is having any problems with the bottom dragging from bumps or any problems at all from other things such as potholes or driveways etc etc...... thanks DAN

I've got more than a 4/6 drop on my 68 & don't have any problems during daily use.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

depends on what size of tire and how low your exhaust hangs
