Re: drop 6/8
What else are you getting? The stuff you listed only gets you about half way to 6/8. You will need spindles and springs up front and a flip kit in the rear with shock relocators. The rear shackle gets you onlky about 2" lower.
Need more details.

Re: drop 6/8
cut your springs and add shackles, if the rear isnt low enough install a 1in block.

Re: drop 6/8
If you haven't done so already, check Summit Racing. They are hard to beat.

Re: drop 6/8
Will there be any suspension/steering clearance issues with that 6/8 static drop?
Also what rim/tire set up will you run?
