its not gonna be a show show truck like just once a year at our local car show. its gonna be maily a drag truck and i think i am gonna go with a 3/3
i'd go with a 6/7 but if its your everyday driver than maybe a 4/5. 3/3 is ok if your not really into being lowered but yet still want it to look good and if your gonna be draging it than make sure you get a good set of shocks.................go low

I'd go with eather a 2/3 or 3/4. Having 1" more drop in the rear will even the truck out and help with weight transfer.

4/5 or even 4/6 is good for everyday driving...ive had both, no probs scraping and what not with 4/5, but 4/6 gets me hung up on alot.
even a 3/4 is good...hell any drop looks good on an s series!

Hey you are in Clinton?
If you need ANY help I am in Springfield.
Remember if it ain't low enough you can get lower profile tires!

i dont want low profile tires. and yes i live in clinton.
guys, i think he means like a quarter mile drag,not scrapin the ground. I would go with the 3/3 if you want. I am going with a 1/2. My new V8 will drop the front about an inch, and I bought some 2" drop blocks yesterday.

I have a 4/4 drop on my 03' (ZQ8 W/2in belltech spindles/blocks) with 245/45/zr16 Proxes T1-S's. The lower you go, the more you will have to worry about clearance issues. I need to get a new y-pipe made because I kinda crunched mine on a steep speed bump.
