3/5 vs. 4/6

Can I see some pics of both. I'm trying to avoid buying drop spindles.

thanks

Blazer is a 2/4

Cheyenne is a 3.5/5

Hope that helps.

Ooops, sorry, just re-read your post and you don't care about a 2/4 drop.

I will offer some advice. I thought about doing the 3/5 without drop spindles and now I'm glad I didn't. I can load one side of that truck pretty good slamming it into corners and I don't worry one bit about stability. That thing begs to get into the middle of a turn now.

The kit I purchased from Early Classic Enterprises containted 2.5" drop spindles, 1" drop front springs, 5" rear drop springs, 4 KYB drop shocks, super track bar, and rear shock mount relocator kit.

Again the best thing about the spindle and springs is they are factory load rated. I can still put my 850 lb riding lawn mower in the bed, pull a trailer, and not worry about banging the frame.

I also used the opportunity to install cross-drilled, slotted rotors and new front calipers. Stops real quick now!
