A 4/6 would need a notch for sure. I curently have the 3.5"/5" DJM setup. Love the way it looks and rides, except when I hit a large bump and the rear end bottoms out on the frame. I can still tow, but like I said on large bumps the rear will hit the frame.

I have a 3/5 on my 03 and i love the looks. it could ride a little better, but i think that is just the worn out shocks b,c they are maxed out b.c of the drop

2/5's look to me the rear sits lower then the front...

Here is mine with the DJM 3/5 running 20"x8.5" centerline wheels with 295/45/20 General's



ALso the picture in my sig is with the same drop with the factory 17" wheels running 275/50's

I also need to say with the latest 20" wheel tire combo I have I do rub on big dips in the road while at high speed.

with such a big wheel I think you would be happy with the 2/4 drop.

I'm going to have to agree. Staying with those 32.5" tall tires, 2/4 would be as low as you would want to go.

do'nt go any lower than 2/4 with a 32.5" tire, my 275/45-22's are 31.8 tall and they rub up front when I hit the huge bump at high speed (double posted limits)... or when i'm doing 75 around corners that have a 25mph speed limit. it'll be fine until you start driving crazy

3/5" drop here with 22's on 31.5" tires. i agree with others saying a 4/6 or even a 3/5 would probably be too low for 32.5" tires...

heres mine
