Thread: 2/4 or 4/6 Drop?

  1. #1

    I have a 2007 Silverado Classic C1500 w/ext. cab. I'm wanting to lower it, but can't decide on whether to go 2/4 or 4/6 drop.
    Does anyone have any pics comparing the two? Also can I run the stock tire diameter if I decide to go 4/6 without any clearance issues?
    Which drop kits are the best to go with? Coil spring or spindle?
    Also...I'm running Air Lift air bags as well...will I have to change air bags with a drop kit?

    eibach 2/4 coil spring,no c notch needed.
    Dont use the djm c notch if you decide 4/6.
    I wish i went with the 2/4.
    McGraughys has good spindles.
    Belltech has a bigger offset.
    4/6 works with the stock tires,but how long will it stay stock

    Depends on what you want out of the truck....
    Do you want to build a sport truck or a slammed custom.
    Here is a picture of my 03 with the DJM 2-4 and 20's (It was actuallly a tad lower)

    I have had a truck with a 5-7 drop and I really liked how the 03 rode/looked. If I was gonna do it again I would do teh Hotchikis 2/4 drop with front and rear sway bars.

    Looks like the 2/4 is what I want. The main thing is to lower it so it matches my lowered boat trailer better, but still be able to function as a tow vehicle. The Air Lift Smart Air system I have on my truck will assist with that.
    Which leads me to the other question...will I have to get shorter bags? Or is there some sort of an adapter kit that will make the stock bags work?
