4/6 ECE Drop kit with 18's.....
Im a newbie here and Just purchased a 71 Super Cheyenne and was talking with Stan from ECE on Friday about the 4/6 drop kit. I'm going to daily drive this pickup. Stan recommended 18"x8" with 4-1/2" BS and 255/55/18 up front and 18"x9.5" with 5-1/2" BS and 275/50/18 out back. He said it would ride EXCELLENT. Anyone in here have pics with this setup or something similar?? Or does anyone have any further advice??? Want to do this right the first time.
Thanks Brett Posted via Mobile Device |

If Stan said it will ride excellent, then it will. I have never heard a complaint from anyone that has used ECE. Others will chime in.

Re: 4/6 ECE Drop kit with 18's.....
I never did ask him if I would have to C Notch the frame with the above combo... Can anyone answer this as well??

Re: 4/6 ECE Drop kit with 18's.....
With their 4/6 kit you will not need to C-notch the rear, but any lower and you will. I have a 5/7 slam on my truck, and it is c-notched. Welcome to the board!

I do not have any pics myself, but there are a LOT on this site. I am sure others will post pics here in your thread.

Re: 4/6 ECE Drop kit with 18's.....
There are pictures on ECE's site. Also check out 72Blkbuty's build. it's got a 4.5/6 drop I believe with 20" wheels. There are several others on the site with the drop and all I have ever heard about it is good things...

Re: 4/6 ECE Drop kit with 18's.....
Stan's the man on this board. I have their 3.5/5 kit with 18's all around (255/45 and 295/45) and it rides great, and even handles pretty decent. The only other thing I would say is that you can easily get by with 295's out back if you want. I have them on mine.

Re: 4/6 ECE Drop kit with 18's.....
Thanks,
These are Coys C-5's 18X8 with 4 bs 255/45-18, 18X9 with 5.5bs 295/45-18, tires are Nittos. I ordered the tires and wheels from Coys, already mounted and balanced. All I had to do was mount them up. Be sure and ask for spacers. They know exactly what fits on these rascals.

I'd get the new suspension bits installed and see how it sits on four tires of the same size before you order. But I think you're on the right track. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 4/6 ECE Drop kit with 18's.....
