Cheapest way to get a 2/4 and 4/6 drop?

Just wondering what the cheapest/easiest way to get a 2/4 and 4/6 drop on a 70 c/10? Coils? Spindel?

Can't beat ECE, and it is worth every penny.

I agree with ECE I just installed my new disc brakes with drop spindles and I am loving how easy it was to install and how well they are setup great product for sure.

But to answer your question I have to agree with Hottrucks on cutting the front springs and getting jeep coils for the rear, or placing some lowering blocks in the rear, those would be the cheapest ways to do what your asking.
