Personally, I'd go with a 2/4 drop. It looks great and the truck's daily use abality is not compromised.

i just want to be sure when you say 2/4 i know its f/b but is it the end clearance results
or is it the amount being lowered and also do you get better miles to gallon then you used to

i was thinking about doing the same to my 01 scab 4x4
i was thinking, i could just lower the torsion rods, instead of cranking them up, go down, then remove the 2" block in the rear and see how that works out for me, or am i missing something?
