Re: 3.5 /4 drop picks.
Here's two of my truck with a 3/4 drop. Figured it was close enough to give you an idea.

Re: 3.5 /4 drop picks.
Here's mine when it was 3.5/4. I didn't like it. I thought it looked like a stink bug.
I changed to a 5" rear spring. Much better.

Re: 3.5 /4 drop picks.
So you don't need a c notch for a 5 inch drop? I thought you could only go to a 4 inch before you needed to do a c notch.

Re: 3.5 /4 drop picks.
Thanks I just phoned and changed my order so that I have a 5" drop in the back. So now I will be 3.5/5.
I am hoping to go with a set of 18's on the truck so now I will just need to figure out the tire config. Kevin

Re: 3.5 /4 drop picks.
255/50/18 front 275/50/18 rear will look perfect! I'm almost positive that's what SactoJim has on his truck.
