What is needed after 4" drop?

Even at 4" in the rear you should get an adjustible panhard bar to recenter the rear end. WES

ok, that 3/5 looks good, and yes i hear you, i planned on getting a different tire offset to achieve the look i wanted, was going to have slightly smaller tires in front and larger tires in rear to avoid having to mess with too much of the front assembly.

but having a 6" drop coil (bought) in the rear is going to require shocks and c notch correct? but having a 3" drop in the front wont require any special work except cutting the front coil correct?

If you are going 6 in the rear, you need a notch. some will say you don't, but smacking your axle on the frame aint cool, trust me. As for the front, getting 3'' out of a cut coil seems a bit extreme, but it might work. Personally, I would, go with drop spindles.

ive heard from a bit of reliable people that 3 inches in front is achievable with only cutting 1 coil from the front coil, and many have cut a whole coil off the front with no problems, but sometimes people tend to leave out things like "well i cut 1 coil and dropped the truck 3 inches!! *OMIT - and i changed the shocks for drop shocks, new drop spindles, and put in disc brakes in order for it to work!! - /OMIT*, and it looks awesome now!" lol, know what i mean?

but worse comes to worse and i end up putting the truck out of comission for a couple weeks until new parts arrive if it doesnt ride right after cutting the front and putting in the rears with a c - notch

Take the time and save the money to do your drop correctly. I have drums on the front of mine and it's really low, it took some headaches to get it there, now that it's there the headaches keep comin'

If you do a conversion, spindles, C-notch etc., wipe your hands, it's done and done right, knowing you don't need to go back and fix something later is a nice...

Here is a photo of mine on drums....




This is a bad photochop of what it will look like when its done, but about 2" lower...

if you take the front end apart weather to chop coils or install spindles it's quite foolish to not replace old ball joints tierod ends etc if they're the original pieces JMO
