Its on a 91 extended cab. right now its 2 in the back and i want more but just dont know how much. My problem with how low is due to the fact that i pull a boat in the summer and dont want to be 2 low. Once i get this figure out then i have to figure out which size wheels. Any ideas or pics

Go with a 4/6 drop but with helper bags and you should be fine...

i have a 96 extended cab, and i mixed and matched and put a 4/4 drop on it, and i pull a boat in the summer when our family goes camping, and it pulled just fine actually. so a 4/6 on your truck would actually be no problem for your truck. i also ran 18's on mine, but kept the same overall diameter of my stockers, 29 inches, and it works well.

A 4/6 kit should come with a c-notch... they are simple to install.

summit has the best prices imo, djm parts are the way to go,2"dropcoils and 2" drop spindles for the front and a flipkit for the rear, heres my 4/6 on 20's

do you have any better pics of your truck? That will also help me to descide on my wheel size also. Cant choose between 20's or 22's.

here's some better pics, if you plan to get 22's, a 2/4 or 3/4 drop would look good, there's a guy on here with a blue truck on 22's with a 3/4 drop, "nickeay" or something

I need to lower it more first and get it looking right. I really dont want to bag the dd. Plus it wouldnt work out well with the boat. good idea though

you could only 265/35's up front and it still rubs on hard bumps,
this truck is bagged in the front and 6" dropped in the rear on 22's

4/6 on 22's

centerline claims this is a 4/8 but it looks like a 2/4 to me because it's not even tucking tire

Screw it im going 3/4 first and see how it comes out. I canceled my order cause i rode in a 4/6 on 22's and it rode like ass. And everytime you hit a big bump the tire hit the fender. So i going to start off at that and work my way up.

Same here started with 2/4 for and drove on it for many years good ride but now i want a 4/6 cause nothin looks meaner than a slammed chevy with big rims. Go low and ride in the weeds bro.

i wanted to drop mine just 2/4 because i didn't want to cut the frame, then i saw acouple of obs's dropped 2/4 and couldn't even tell they were dropped(unless you looked to see if the hangers had bolts on them instead of rivets), like i stated before 22's on a 4/6 drop will always rub on hard dips unless you tub the front, 22's would look pretty good on a 3/4 drop but it won't be slammed, here's nickleahy23's truck 3/4 drop on 22's,
