Does hotchkis carry a drop kit lower than a 2/4?

i dont think so, its more of a small drop combined with vastly improved handling. im sure you could combiune a rear flip kit from somewhere else and different spindle or something with few mods to get it lower

with the TVS-2/4 drop you can add 2" shackles in rear and 2" drop spindle in front for a 4/6 drop but not sure if the swaybars will still work cause they are designed to work with a 2/4 drop... binding may occur or bad angles???

Im gonna have to look into that because that would be bad *** and im sure a 4/6 with the sway bars would really handle like a champ!!

got the drop in and put it on sat.
i think it rides 10 times better than the stock set up and the handling seems 2 be pretty good
never really drove it that hard yet

I have a 2/4 Bel-tech drop on my truck Coils Front / shackles and leafs on back. It rode really ruff the rear bottomed out alot. I got Toxic Drop Shocks and Notched my rear and it rides nearly as good as stock.

I know its not needed but alot of people suggest it. Just wondering if you notched yours and how it rode since you didnt. Bottom out alot?
