4/6 vs 5/7... Any suggestions? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am in the process of resto-modding my dad's 84 SWB and am nearly to the suspension portion of the project. I know I want to use Western Chassis components (spindles, springs, flip kit, shackles and C-notch), but can't decide on the amount of drop. It's going to be a fair-weather cruiser and will hopefully see some long cruises and maybe even do a Power Tour one day; definitely not a daily driver. I will be using 17x8 and 17x9.5 Torq Thrust's with 245/50 and 275/50 Nitto's.

My other 84 is lowered 3/5 and it's not really low enough, while my brother's 87 is 4/6 and seems about right, but I keep wanting a little more to make it stand out. Does anyone have any pic's of the two or suggestions either way?
