Requesting 67-72 lowered longbeds

I cant make up my mind on how much to lower my truck. I think I should go 4/6 or 3/5, but I am not sure. I would like to see different drops so I can get an idea of how they look on LWB trucks.

Thanks

Powell, your truck looks pretty good. What size tires do you have on it?

Re: Requesting 67-72 lowered longbeds

thanks for all the pics,

Mine looks like it is about a 6/8 drop now.(previous owner heated up the springs)
I cant afford drop spindles right now so I will have to get the 3/5 springs
Fossilrunner-What size are your tires? I like the rallys.
