Re: how low to go?
6" is a little narrow, you can run that tire on a 7" rim. As for the back well you can go fat with tubs, not sure with out! First pic is stock width 68 rear, second pic is 9" 4" narrower than stock 68

Re: how low to go?
I will always want more low. Ride quality is impacted by shock choice. I got rid of the KYB shocks and installed CPP shocks. Better, but not like a caddy. Bilstines or Ride Techs would be best.
4.5/6.25" ECE parts. No c notch needed in my case. ![]()

Re: how low to go?
I have a 71 C10 and I'm thinking about doing a 3-1/2"/5" drop. Ill be running 20x8's up front and 20x9.5's in the rear. Will I need a c notch kit or will it ride without it? I keep hearing different things. Thanks in advance!

Re: how low to go?
No c notch needed at 5" drop but I would definitely suggest rear shock relocation brackets.
