Static drop debate

I'm gonna do a static drop on my '72 LWB and i'm debating between a "2/"4 drop or a "3/"5 drop.

Can I see some examples to compare?

Re: Static drop debate

I think a 2/4 drop on a LWB looks great. On SWB trucks I like them lower.

Re: Static drop debate

Go 5/7 honestly a 3/5 no one would ever know the truck was lower unless you pointed it out. This is one I'm doing that's currently 3/5 and it looks stock in my opinion

Re: Static drop debate

Drop Spindles are a bit expensive but they might be worth it for what i want my truck to look like
