I have a 3/4 and will soon be going to a 4-6. I don't care how shitty it rides, the looks make up the the difference, atleast for me...

I have 20's on the Chariot w/the 2/4 drop and I love it. Consider the angle of your driveshaft when you decide what drop to go with.

not to get too far off topic but with a 4/6, how wide of a tire can be had? in inches please. i do know that wheel backspacing will play a big part but if perfect backspacing is achieved how wide could you go?

OR, how low could you go with a 315/35/R20 rear tire?

2/4 and I only dont like it now cuz I want her lower. I have more options with smaller tires and I dont wanna make em smalled till its lower so that there isnt a huge fender gap. For a mild drop and all I still have to worry about big bumps and speedbumps too but I still wish it were lower

yep 315/35/R20s out back and 275/40/R20s up front.

they are (height x width) 28.6" x 12.3" and 28.6" x 10.8" respectively

Had a 2/4 on my 99 ECSB and did a 4/6 about a year before I sold it. On my SS I did a 2/4 a couple years ago and now I have it on jackstands installing a 5/7. I never thought a drop kit would take more than 2 weeks to install.......LOL

I think the 5/7 is the look I have been after since I got this truck.....................

It'd work with a 5/7 but 5" in the front of a NBS is a bit low so I'd say 4/7.
