Re: What drop do you think

Haha ya i thought it had hangers also when i bought it but it doesnt. I was the heavy half with like 8 springs and they took a few out. I was going to use a flip kit because i want 6 inches atleast in the back but i think i can just throw a set of hangers on it and be at 6 total, and thataway i wouldnt have to do a c-notch because my axles still under the springs. I would think i would have plenty of moom left for travel. What u think

Re: What drop do you think

It looks good like it is, I would say it looks like a 3/4 drop. I have a three 3/4 and it looks about the same. IMO they look better with a slight rake...
