You might have a hard time with that. The best way would be to get a lower control arm with a significant drop, like 2" or so, then buy a 2" coil, that way you wont loose on the tire aspect. The back you can just buy a hanger/shacke for 5" and add a 1" block. You might get a little axle hop from the block, but I think that's the best way for you to do it. try stylinconcepts.com. You'll be able to buy the peices you need seperately. Hope this helps.

I heard the same thing, but I saw A truck just like our's at the drag strip a couple months ago, and it sat really nice. It was still drivable, and you did'nt have to look out for pot hole and big bumps. The guy had lots to tell about his truck. Unfortunately I was drunk, and forgot to ask him where he got it. But it was a hanger/shackle and control arm combo. I'm probably gonna talk to the guy's cousin this weekend.gimme your e-mail adress and if I find anything out I'll write.

3/5 is fine, no c-notch needed. no, I dont have
to look out for potholes, just speed bumps.
My truck sat higher in the rear with a 3/5, so I
added a 1" block. you def need the c-notch
with a 6" rear drop. you can do it with a 5"
drop in case you load up the bed with a
sufficient amount of weight, but its not
needed.
measure your truck from the center of the
wheel to the lip of the fender, then decide how
much you want to drop it. I used 3" arms and
5" shackle hanger and 1" block
2001 4.7 CC auto
shaved door handles & tailgate
welded Sir Michaels roll pan
DJM drop 3/6
airaid intake
180 stat, ported-polished TB
Dynomax 3" dumped carsound cat
HO cams/manifold, Sure Grip & 3.92's collecting dust!
