Default 3/5 or 4/6 Drop for a 03 EXT. Cab Sierra?

What kind of drop should I get? The sierra will have 22's on it. I ask because the cost between the 2 drops is crazy $400 for the 3/5 and $1100 for the 4/6 drop. Which one will look the best.



Thanks,

If your gonna do 3/5 you might as well go for the 4/6 since ride quality and suspension angle approach will be much better.

I ran a 3/6 on my old RC and it almost sat level. Really liked the way it road....used 265/35/22's

1100 $ doesn't seem right..maybe with retail price on parts then labor

I ran a 3/5 and it was level. Also, with the 22s, not sure if they will rub or not with the 4/6.That price seems high, I paid $700 for the 3/5 kit but it also included shocks,urethane bumpstops, driveshaft bracket, and new drop leaf springs in the kit. A 4/6 kit shouldnt be much more than that, but it all depends on whats included.

My trucks at a 3/5 with 275/60-17s and it sits perfectly level... With those size wheels I'd do a 3/5 for sure

4/6 if your wheels have the right backspacing to tuck. What 4/6 are you looking at that is $1100? That don't sound right at all, unless it's installed, but even then seems a little high.

i would do a belltech 4/8 with helper bags aired up to a 4/7. I just lowered a 03 ext cab and it looks pretty sharp

a lot of people around here run 4/6 22 combo. imo looks better.
i have a 4/6 and love it. not too low and i still use my bed to haul. if you tow, helper bags would be a good addition
