Is four/six level drop?

[CG]

Looking at complete drop kits. Is four six level, or a slight rake that can be fixed with small blocks in the rear?

Also this seems to be the lowest kit I can find looking at different vendors, is there another kit option for a bit lower and still have a streetable ride? Air is not an option.

I think buying a complete kit, shocks, springs, spindles, shock mounts, and track bar would be the best bang for my buck (probably buy a C Notch too). Seems like piecing together really bumps the overall cost up.

From what I have seen, yes, 4-6 is supposed to be level. Personally I think 4-7 is better, but that's my opinion. The kits do make it easier so you know you have everything, and you can always call them to change springs out for a different size drop or different shocks, or whatever. The vendors normally work with you.

If you are running 15" wheels you can add up to a 1.5" lowering block,... but I wouldn't do that unless you have a c-notch in the frame.
Larger diameter wheels (18" and larger), you can run a 2" lowering block without getting into scrubline issues.

Yep, pretty much levels the truck, since they are known for coming with 2" rake. I think the 4/6 looks great and that is what my '67 SWB (chassis) has. But the vibe with that truck is from the era, so a 2" rake would be more appropriate. and more hot rod-like. Also, no c-notch for me and I want the truck to carry a load and tow a trailer. So between liking both level or raked and wanting the truck to be able to carry more than a cooler, I will be getting bags in place of springs. Change with my mood and not loose use as a truck

CG, 4/6 is somewhat level, but will still have a slight rake. My truck used to have a 4.5/6.75 drop. This was achieved with ECE 2.5" drop spindles, 2" drop springs up front and 6" Hotchkis rear springs along with a .75" drop block. As you can tell, it still had a slight rake, but not much.

To get it lower than advertised would be to trim front coil springs, then add blocks to the rear.

Ill be running 15's same size tires all four corners. Looks like 4/6 will work well with blocks to level it up.

Thanks for the picks that's a great stepper you have!

What size wheels/tires do you plan to run?

Thanks for the compliment!

I don't remember the exact size I have that info on a different computer. But I believe 15x7 rims with regular (what's that mean lol) size tires with thin whites

You should be good, then. Some of the 8" rallies have a somewhat deep backspace and interfere with the control arm when lowered with drop spindles. The quick fix is to run a 15x7 wheel, so should be no issues on your end.
