3"/5" Drop Kits & Suggestions
I'd like to drop my truck 3/5 but don't know where to start. I ws thinking 2"spindles 1" springs in the front, and shackles/hangers in the rear. Will I need new shocks? also will I need to "C" notch the frame?
Tire size is also a concern, I have 15x10 Centerlines and dont know what aspect ratio 50,60 etc.. will fill the opening nicely. Suggestions on kit manufacturers? or tire Sizes?

My 2 cents: I bought a DJM 3" drop spindle and a 5" flip kit for a 3/5 drop, but I am considering getting a 1" drop coil and a 1" lowering block for a 4/6 drop. With a 5" drop, a c-notch is not required, but if you intend to haul anything, you might consider it. I plan to and in addition use air lift bags to supplement the load if needed. Belltech and Western Chassis are another brands of drop components that I recommend too, but with Western Chassis, their front drop spindle is only 2.5". I bought my 3/5 drop kit from Stylin Concepts for just under $275, but they just had a hefty price increase.

Price increase in Canada is for sure.

I would, but the gas to get to the border & the exchange rate would still kill Mr. Wallethead. Thanks though.
