What drop you think this is?

[Slowguy]

I was thinking of doing the 4/6 drop kit along with front disks and a brake booster from early classics. They said they’d do it as a kit price. I like the idea of kits since I’m new to this but they made no mention of relocating the read shocks which I’ve heard a bunch about it being necessary when lowering.

I don’t have much experience with it myself, my truck was already lowered when I bought it. I just know what I’ve learned from researching what was done to mine. Relocating your shocks isn’t “necessary” per say but your ride quality will suffer if you don’t. You can buy drop shocks that are shorter but it won’t ride as well as relocated factory length. Mine aren’t relocated to outside the frame but the angle is changed. I believe mine is the CPP kit. It cost less than most kits and seemed to work really well on mine.

I have 2.5” drop spindles + 2” drop springs up front and 4” drop coil springs + 2” blocks in the rear. ...still has a slight rake. Don't know how 22” would fit...

What size wheels and tires are you running?
This is mine, 4/6 with 275/60-15 on 15x10s on the rear and 255/60-15 on 15x8s on the front.

I'm running the same tire in the rear, but with 15x8 rims and 235/70-15 tire on 18x6.5 in the front. I went with the 235s for extra LCA ground clearance.

Yeah lower control arms can get really low really fast for sure. Mine are pretty low but I have yet to drag or hit anything and I live pretty far in the country and have to drive a crappy secondary road to get to a decent lined road.
