Yes a 4/6 drop is 4 in the front and 6 in the rear. Not sure what the cost is, but you should look into drop spindles also.

Most 4/6 kits, like what's available through ECE include 2.5" drop spindles. ECE also has a spot on their site that shows wha their drop kits look like on different vehicles, so be sure to check that out. I'm planning on ordering my 4.5/6 kit from ECE, they make great products and provide excellent service.

Re: yes another lowering ?

To do a complete ECE 4/6 drop you`ll spend around $800.You`ll have a good ride,centered rear,and proper front end/steering geometry.You can heat or cut the coils on the cheap cheap.
