I have an 06 crewcab and looking at my tax returns, i see a nice bag setup on the way.

4/6 is way too low for a crewcab if its a daily driver. You will scrape and drag on every bump and driveway. My buddy's truck has a 4/6 on his 06 crewcab and he hates it. Im going with bags so i can raise it when i want to get over something and still lay it out!

The most i would go is a 3/5 on a crewcab daily driver but the 2/4 would be even more practical. I couldnt decide myself but this is finally when i have come to find out.

Thats probably the best price you will find for mcgaughys stuff. Its quite pricey but well worth the extra money!

If i decide to not blow all my money on bags, i may just still go with a static drop and put the rest in the bank and save it. You do have a good point though. I may just do the 4/6 for grins and like you said, if its not practical enough, ill swap coils and blocks to make it a 3/5. That is, if i decide against bags but im pumped about them right now so i dont know. lol

Check out this thread, someone a little while back asked about some crew cab pics and I posted some I had seen here. Both have a 4/6 drop on them.

If you have the money to do bags, DO IT! It will look sick!

Yep you sure do!! if not the frame will hit the rear end there is only like 7" between the two at stock heigth. IMO a C-notch is a must with 5"+ drop in the rear, some say you need a C-notch with a 4" drop.

I have a 4in drop in mine and when i test drove it it only hit on really big bumps. i am still going to notch it. But i also have a long bed so I dont know if there is any more clearance compared to a s/b
