69 Chevy 2/4 or 3/4 drop questions and if you have pics post them

I know everyone is going to say 2/4 but I am trying to keep this truck as much original as I can, It was my Grandfathers truck, it has sentimental value but I want it to have my own twist to it. As in I want to keep the 6 lug bolt pattern.
I know I could do the 2/4 with no problem but I am curious about the 3/5. It will not be a daily driver, more so a weekend/ car show/ parade truck. I have found a kit for sway bars front and back with lowering springs and shocks, relocation brackets and the option of 2/4 or 3/5.... I have 15 inch rims.... So any info and pictures would be appreciated. What do you all think.

Thanks

Here's mine with a 3/4 drop and 15 inch wheels.

do you have a side profile of your truck. also is it only drop springs and NO spindles. and is there any issue in steering or bottoming out?


Thanks

Mine is the CPP 2/4 drop kit with shocks, shock mount relocators, and super track bar plus I added 2" drop lower control arms from Charley's Drop Shop because the front only came down about an inch with the springs only. There are no driveability issues at all. Here's a side shot.

Awesome, I like how it sits. Thanks man.

Here's 'another' option for you. I kind of had the same dreams and aspirations for my '69 CST. I wanted to retain the ability to return the truck to stock status, while also giving it an attitude adjustment, and a custom flare. I decided to run a 4.5/6" ECE drop kit (no c-notch required) with a 6-lug disc brake upgrade; that's right 6-lug disc brakes. I retained the manual brakes so most won't even realize the change on the M/C.

For more info, and a complete guide to the install of both kits, click on "Project Blank Slate" in my signature and let me know if you have any questions.

Here's a few shots of my '69, from this:
