not really sure if this is the right place but its kinda both suspension and appearnce so here goes

2/4 drop on the rear would you do hangers and shackles or drop leaf springs???

i have shackles already but cant seem to find a good price on just hangers ( i paid 10 bucks for my shackles)

but if you guys can shed some light on this i would really appreciate it and mods if im in the wrong place feel free to move and sorry

 

I've always like the shackle&hanger combo myself and I think they give a more comfortable ride over leaf springs,IMO. Just make sure your're going to stick with a 2/4 for while because more than likely in the majority if time people always seem to want to go lower.

If you decide lower, you can just get a flip kit and that maintains a stock ride feeling with the notch.

 

I will say that a 2/4 is a more "functional drop" but if you want the look, go for the 4/6 to begin with. I got the 2/4 too starting out but ended up dropping it a little more... now, I'm at about a 3/5... and want to bag it... LOL... I dont guess I'll be completely pleased until the rockers are on the pavement.

 

I'm gonna move this to the suspension forum. You're right that it kinda covers both, but I think you'll probably get more feedback there.

 

I have a 2/4 from Hotchkis. Great kit. rides a little rough, but handles much better. Try searching for "2/4 drops" you should find a ton of info.

 

I would do the HOTCHKIS drop kit with the 4' lowering Leaf Springs. I have 2 sets of them and they ride and handle IMO better than factory. The only issue to keep in mind is that once you lower it 4' you will have to c-notch the rear if you plan on hauling anything.

 

The Hotchkis kit is a nice setup but just be 100% positive you'll stick to a 2/4 drop 'cause it's pretty expensive.

 

Agreed.

But if he wants to go lower in the front he has the option to use SPINDLES, and in the rear he can use his Shackles with a c-notch.

 

hey silver mod o can i see some pics of your 3/5 and 2/4
oh and thanks for the help cree

and c notch that is where you cut the bed right??

sorry guys im not familiar with trucks i usually stick with f bods.
but i got a silverado bout a year and ahalf ago did the basics billet grill cleared headlights tint windows and leveled it
jsut recently i got a ss bumper cover and roll pan and decided after that it needs a drop but i dont want 4/6 low although i loke the look i want fuctionality and where i live a 4/6 wont be i have a hard enough time with my car so i would like to be able to take the truck and relax when i drive and not worry about taking my bumper cover off pulling into work.

 

a C notch is where you cut the frame.
