Bags on 20's...haha

3/5 is an "odd" drop for a NBS. 3/6 will sit more level. 4/6 is more common though. 3/6 can be done with belltech coils and a flip kit, 4/6 with DJM control arms and a flip kit. the 3/6 will not ride stock, while the 4/6 will since you retain stock springs front and back.

I thought you had to change out the springs for the back on a 4/6?

Y2K...howcome your front tires "pigeon toe" so much? Is that just how it does when you slam it to the ground while parked ? Just curious.

Damn, I gotta get some bags. I don't want to lay frame, but I would love to be able to go that low.

Nope. The axle is "flipped" on top of the springpack giving you 6" of drop. The kit supplies the hardware for it to sit on top so that your ride is unaffected. You only need shorter shocks to compensate for the drop. (and a carrier bearing bracket on extended cab models so you won't have vibration at low speeds)


ACDenali,

It is negative camber. My truck is aligned at a ride heigth of about a 4" front drop. When i deflate the suspension the tires tuck into the fenders and it creates negative camber due to the control arms. If i air it all the way up it creates pretty bad positive camber. When i'm at ride heigth the wheels are more along the lines of | | and in alignment so it doesn't eat my tires. If i drive real low or real high i'll have unnatural wear since the tires are leaning on the inner portions of them or the outter portion / \ <-- kinda like that.
