My Profile pic is a 5.5"/7.5" drop on my '69.
I suggest the 4/6 for the 73-87 trucks because it's a very streetable combination.
The flip kit is easier and cheaper. No c-notch needed. (unless you go with a 5/7 drop)
I'd use Belltech or Western Chassis components.
Drop spindles, Springs, Flip Kit, and a good set of drop shocks.
Also, a front sway bar is a cheap mod,... if you don't alreay have one.
If you do,... just add a set of Energy Suspension bushings,... and it will work fine.
