Question on 4/6 drop(need to do it by Wed)

Heading out to Daytona for bike week Wed night.

I want to drop my truck probably 4/6. I currently have 2" shackles problem is i don't have my stock shackles at the house. My understanding is the 4/6 kit is upper and lower control arms, springs and a flip kit for the rear.

So i can't really do that, so i quess i could do a 3" coil drop(which should really be 2") and a 2"hanger kit to go with my 2" shackle kit. So that scenario should drop it 2/3 overall (L's are 1" lower from the start right?)

I got to next day these from Stylin Concepts and get them on Wed before i leave still just want to make sure i get the right stuff.

Still have to lower my bike to and have a bunch of running around.

Thanks

lower control arms, coils for the front

hanger, shackles, 2" drop leafs for the rear

that should look really good. since it will be a true or close 4/6 drop

Hmm so springs are 2"s also?

You may have to C-Notch the frame on the rear.

Talking

I went with the Western Chassis 4/6 kit. It's actually a 3/5 drop
on a lightning. Came with everything and you don't have to
notch the rear. If you do lower it 4/6 you probably would have
to notch it. Thought about bagging it?[IMG][/IMG]

Thumbs up

B4's with 295/30/22's. Don't think you have time to get the stuff
and do the job in two days. Either way have fun in Daytona.
