Question Do you regret your drop?

ok so i cant decide, how many of you did a 2/4 and wish you did 4/6?
or did a 4/6 but you wish you didnt

im having troubles deciding i have drop shackles already so if i do 4/6 ill need to get some stock shackles,and if i do 2/4 im halfway there

i wont mind being low, i think i prefer it, at some point either way it will have helper bags.

so please lets here some opinions, i will carry tools and sheetrock in the bed on occasion

i have a 3/4 and its not even installed yet and i'm starting to think i will want a 4/6 or so... the 3/4 just doesn't have the same sweet look the 4/6 does... i don't want to have to buy drop shocks, c notch, and new tires either though so its all good

i have a 2/4 and a 1/4 on my two trucks and i personally would like to try out a 3/5 next.
Seen/drove trucks with 4/6 and it's too low for wider tires out back so it becomes a problem unless you get custom rims.

I'm running a 3/6 and wish I'd done it a long time ago. It completely changed how the truck looks and feels. I even wish it was lower sometimes but don't like scraping everywhere so I'll probably 'bag it eventually.

4/6 here and love it. It rides great with the right tire size no scraping at all. I would recommend that you get the crossmember shaved to get more clearnce if your going to need it. Didn't do mine but I hear it works alot better with a shaved crossmember.

Funny this popped up tonight. I loved mine until I tried to back out of my girlfriend's barn tonight and high centered on a 4x4. My truck is about 5.5" off the ground with a 4/7 and I ended up ******* my ypipe up a bit and bending a small piece of my crossmember. I'm ******* pissed because it's the worst my truck has been torn up in the 4 years I've owned it

I'm at 2/4 with Hotchkis coils and leafs. I'm about 50/50 right now about adding a pair of spindles, and drop shackles and a notch to get me down to 4/6. The biggest thing that is keeping me from doing it is my tires are too big right now. If you do go to 4/6 definately get a set of helper bags.
