early classic 4/6 drop kit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I recently did the 4/6 ECE on my 69SWB. I have 30" tires (29.25" diameter) and I love the "full" look. 15x7 in the front and 15x8 rear. I will probably go with 338's when I'm done installing the A833 4 speed OD tranny. The bottom pic shows the truck before the drop.

I am planning on going with the 4/6 drop as I build my 70swb, I'm also converting to 5-lug using front suspension from an '85 chevy pu. my question is do you have to cut/notch the lower control arms to run 15" wheels, because of the dropped spindles. I'm thinking of the 15X7 ralleys for the front & 15X8 rallys on the rear.

No need to cut or notch anything. The wheels will clear fine.
