Re: question about 6" drop in back
there is no requirement with any drop that you end up with a good comfortable ride

If you have 15" wheels,... a 1.5" or less block would be better to eliminate scrubline issues.

Re: question about 6" drop in back
This is true. I keep looking at my panel with four inch springs, two inch blocks, and shocks relocated. With the 15 inch wheels its not good. Too bad they dont make the burb/panel lowering springs in a 6 inch drop =(

Re: question about 6" drop in back
Have you tried ECE for 6" dropped springs?

Re: question about 6" drop in back
CG-I have not found anyone who makes a specific drop spring for a burb. You just have to use a truck spring and with the extra weight I think a 4 or 5 inch would be max.
