I gave my truck a 4" front and a 5-6" back lower and I really like the look. Cutting C-notches in the frame was not easy but essential. I also had a huge problem with rust. My truck came out of Utah right next to the !SALT! Lake. Air tools and Knock-er-loose is a must. I STRONGLY suggest replacing as much suspension parts as possible! If a used part is questionable, now's the time when its all apart to replace it with something reliable and not mess with it again.
