Has anyone driven both a 2.5/4 and a 4/6 drop?

[Project1970]

I ask because I keep seeing more and more 4/6 drops done these days...I'm getting tempted to add to the list of things to do to my truck long-term (along with a 5-lug conversion and some 18s) by tossing on some 1" or 1.5" drop springs (probably 1" because I'd like to lessen the rake I have now) and 1.5" drop shackles for the rear

As it is, (2.5" spindles, 4" drop leaves) I really don't have any problems anywhere...thing is, I would probably have to C-notch the frame as well.

Would going down another 1-1.5" in the front and 1.5" in the rear (assuming I C-notch it, since 5.5" of drop is quite a bit) reduce the drivability much/at all?

Mmm...I need money...new rotors, new rear axles and drums, front springs, rear shackles, 18" rims, and 18" tires...nooooot cheap.

I believe I have a 4/6" drop. Spindles in the front with coils and just coils in the back. Hope to get some blocks as soon as i convert the rear axles to 5 lug.

I personally think new dropped springs ride a hella better than 30 year old stock ones. BTW, I am sure the new gas shocks, ball joints, tie rod ends, and everything greased really well helps too!

My 71 long bed (wich my eldest son now has) we put 2.5" spindles on front with 225x70's & rear has 4" drop coils with 285x70's the rake is about even. Rides very good, and can hual as much as you want, with a shot of air in the rear air bags (helpers). just finished my other sons 68 short bed with a 4-6 drop (spindles & 1.5" springs & 255x60's/ rear has 6" drop coils &275x60's) and it rides very good also, but a bit more bouncy, and can not haul anything (I don't think) untill we get some air bags on it. My opinion is the 3-4 drop is still a usefull truck, the 4-6 drop should be considered a (carefull through the dips) street rod only.
