Those are 50 series tires as well so that knocks an inch or two off from the factory heigth. I forget now but I think 50's are 2' inches lower then 70's. (Was it 70's that the factory used?) It all adds up to a lower stance at the end of the day. All things considered it's more like 4/6. esll.

Re: Dropped Longbed's, Need Some Pics........
Mine is a 3/5 drop, make sure if you lower it buy all the parts to do it right. ECE has a really good deal on a 4/6 drop.

Love the look, not to derail the thread, but how do they handle loads after a bagged drop. I use mine to pull a 12' and 16' trailer LOADED regularly.
