i would probably agree becuase of the price. You have to get a c-notch kit with a 4/6 right?

It never bottomed out when I had my 4/6 drop.

I have stock shocks up front on my Sierra, so I don't see why you couldn't use them on a 4/6.

I have McGauhy's 2" spindles on my truck and love them, I'd buy their kit forsure.

What did you notice for handling improvment? As good as a regular car or what? Anyone have aftermarket sway or strut bars?

with the DJM 4/6 I had it was close to stock
I got the 2" Mcgaughy's spindles so I wouldn't have as much camber up front, but I think they nmay have helped the ride a little bit.

2/4 drop doesn't really need a c-notch. Just make sure that you leave some sort of a bumpstop in there...- that is what they are for.

Werd man! You don't need a notch with a 2/4. Mines 5 in the back and I hardly bottom out.

would i need to get some 17's for the spindles?

You can order the spindles with a spacer and you can still run 16's, but I'm not forsure how the spacer works.

If you don't get it you can only run a 20" wheel (MAYBE 19") without doing any modification. If you want to run anything less you have to grind the bolt on the balljoint down or it will hit the inside of the rim, they don't tell you that until you get the instructions.

To make it easy on ya just by my 20" Maxim's off me
