I also opted out of the drop member, because it was the amount of modifications and mainly cost affiliated with it. I didn't want to spend and extra grand on a vintage air unit to have clearance for the wheels and can't do without A/C, also had to grind down the pinch weld and might have had to modify the trans tunnel. Frankly this has already taken too long and I'm just wanting to finish it up and have a nice street truck.
So I decided for some new bushing all around and a McGaughys 4.5/6 drop
