Im thinking about doing the same thing, are you gonna run the upper and lower and spindle for 6" drop?...is that safe?

I was considering just the lower with spindle/coil but its only about $100 more for the entire kit with both arms.

Ok, stupid question. Aren't you guys at all worried about the POS roads in Houston? I have the 2/4 drop and I when I hit the bump stops and I've been told it's ok. I have 20's on 275/45/20's.

While I agree the MCG kit sucks (coil problems), if you wore out a set of tires in 2k, I would imagine that your tires wore quickly like that due to toe, not camber.

Thanks for all the pics and info. Now that there is a bolt-in notch for the 07+ trucks I'd like to go a little lower than 4/7 I do have a few more questions I'd like answered for those with the low static drops.

Does the drive shaft rub? If so, what all did you have to notch for clearance? I'd also like to know if the rear differential ever hits the bed floor because I know it did on my old 2000 when I had a 4/8 drop.
