Welcome :D

You won't need a rear notch with a 5" rear drop. Many of us have a 6" rear and things are good.

I can also recommend ECE.

The 3 inch front springs are 95$ as are the 5 inch rear springs. Thats what i bought from gmc pauls and of course get some drop shocks from summit real cheap. All together less than 300$. As for alignment i dont know but I'll tell you in august. Peace.

hopefully you included the adjustable rear track/panhard bar in that setup :D

Not yet gonna throw the springs and shocks in and see whats up. If needed I'll have to get it. I wanna do bags latter so at some point I'll need it. I'm trying not to buy stuff I dont need. I guess the more true statment would be stuff I dont need really... Whatever I want my truck to look sick on the cheap.:crazy:

You can go up to 6" in the rear, if you go with a 4" spring and a 2" block you will not have to relocate the shocks or put in an adjustable panhard bar. If you go 6" with just a spring you will need to get the relocators and adjustable bar...

Here's mine with a 6" (4" spring and a 2" block)

Good luck, Rg
