Did you have the swaybars on when you had the 4/6 drop?

Theoretically, you should be able to put 2" shackles on the back and be 2" lower. And in the front you can go 2" lower with either Belltech or DJM. (spindle or lower A arm)

OR

Get you some lower profile tires. That will give you the effect of a lower drop. You"ll still be only 2/4 but if you get tires that are 4" shorter than the stock 30" tires, that will lower you 2 more inches to the ground. (also make 2" more space between top of fender and top of tire)

I had my hotchkis 2/4 on my 01 and with 255/50-16 tires had the effect of 4/6 drop.

The only problem that you might run into by going with another 2" in the rear is needing a notch.

I have a 4/6 DJM CalMax drop and I love it! I run 255/35-20's and have a little trouble with speedbumps and steep driveways, but the truck rides great!
