4/6 your gonna need a notch. I had a 3/5 and needed one. If I would have put one in, my ground force kit would have rode better. The front was fine, but on dips or hauling anything you are riding on the bumpstops. I say a 3/4 unless you get a notch, if so then go lower in the back. With the 3/5 drop, it would scrap just about everywhere, why do they make those curbs so high.LOL. I scraped real hard on a dip one time, sparks flew. After raising the truck back up, there were several bent or scraped things under the truck. Now I just have 2" shackles on the rear and enjoy the ride much better, but it looked better lowered.
