anyone done a 4/5 drop
i'm thinking 2" springs and 2" spindles up front, haven't decided on the brand spring yet, but i want performance. i want to change out the rear springs for either hotchkiss 4" or belltech 3" and i'm wondering how to do the leftover, i like a slight rake , so i don't wanna go the full 6' people usually do. plus, i dont' wanna do a flip kit, so i'm thinking .... anyone done this?

1. A McGaughy's 2/4 kit. This comes with spindles in front, and hangers shackles in the rear. I would look at Eibach 1.5 springs up front, in addition to the spindles.
2. Hotchkis 4" leaf springs are a good match for the Eibach fronts. When used with the hangers/ shackles from the 2/4, you get a good bit of adjustability, as well as a good spring rate. Also, Where a flip kit can create pinion angle issues, this parts combination will have some adjustability to compensate for this.
3. You will need a notch. Again McGaughys makes a great bolt in notch which is good for a six inch drop.

im on a 4/5 drop. it started out as a 3/4 but the front springs settled an inch lower than they were suposed to. it didnt bother me though, i just dropped the rear another inch. i think it looks great. i desperately need to find a good shock for the rear end though! the front rides great
