4/6 Drop ??

I want to know what I will need to lower my truck to 4/6. I already have some parts I bought to lower it but changed my mind in the process of doing it. I have 2'' front springs and 5'' lowered shocks. I want the truck level no rake, so if I bought 2.5 drop spindles and 6'' rear spings that would give me 4.5'' front and 6'' back, would that be level or close to level and would I need the shock mount relocators???? This is my first build so i'm learning but I learn fast. Thanks in advance

Re: 4/6 Drop ??

isotek, if you go to ECE's website, they have pics of their kits on the same truck at different lowering stages.

Check out this link...

On their stance photos, they have their truck running 3.5/6 and it looks pretty level. I'm planning on running a 4.5/6 for the slight raked look. It will also depend on your wheel/tire combo as well, as noted on ECE's site.

Did you draw the photo in your avatar? Your '67 will look sick if that's your plan!
