i was thinking of installing a 4/6 drop kit from early classic enterprises. is this a good idea, or will my truck scrape over a lot of things. i am also going to e runnning hooker super comps. if that makes a difference in clearance issues and what not. thanks for the help in advance.

hooker super comps drop below your frame about 4"....

Personally I'd never lower a truck......If you want the lowered look get some large rimes with low profile tires.....besides seams to be the "thing" lately.

just my $.02

You should not have a problem. Most guys go for the shorty headers. there are quite a few on the market now that fit our trucks like a glove.

I'm running a 4-6 drop, And headers.. I was concerned at first, And before I took it down the road, I was going to raise it to 2-4"drop, but the my daughter noticed it was no lower then her rice grinder, (2002 Eclipse). the only problem I have had is loading it on a trailer, I have to find a small hill to load and unload it on, The headers do hit going on the trailer. I will go to a set of "shorty" headers in the future.
It has given it a totally different good feeling going down the road, After doing it, I have absolutely no reservations,or regrets.

I went 2" belltech spindles, and 2"springs, The rear is a flip kit and "C" section. If you do the 4"-6" drop this way and don't like it, all you have to do is change the springs out and cut two inches out of the rear end spacer blocks.

Hooker super comps on my 67 LWB hang 1" lower on the bottom of the frame rails

This is the Early Classic 4/6 drop on my 69. I have had very good luck with ECE. I have the wrong wheel offset and have a little tire rub but that will be fixed soon. No regrets
