Most of these 40 year old trucks already have 1"-2" drop,... because of sagging stock springs.
The new 2" and 4" drop springs are compared to new "stock height" springs.
Almost all 2/4 drop truck owners want to go lower.
Take measurements before you start.
Then take them again after you have lowered your truck.

The truck in my avatar is 5.5"/7.5" drop.
To me,... it doesn't look that low.
It is already done. I did that years ago. It isn't very low at all, but it is what I wanted. I would like it to be maybe 1/2-3/4" lower. Terrible picture but here it is with the previous wheel/tire combo that I sold.
