Also I heard if you do a 5" rear spring drop you might need to "c" notch the frame, is this true? I was wanting to go a 2/4 but if i can go a 3/5 and not have alignment issues or have to due a "c" notch that would be great. any advise you can give me would be great. Thanks guys. I am running a 235/70/15 in the front and 275/60/15 in the rear just so you know
Burke,
I'm running 2 1/2" Drop Spindles with a 3" Lowering Spring in Front,(Total 5.5")
In the Rear I'm using a 4" Drop Spring and 2" Lowering Blocks, (Total 6").
I was told by one company , (what you are eluding to) about alignment.
When I asked 4 OTHER Suspension companies, they told me that was NOT true. To date I have had NO problems. You do not have to go to a "C" Notch, but I would never carry, more than aboy 200 lbs in the Bed of my Truck, but then again thats what the Wife's 05 GMC Sierra is for!
