This aftermarket modification involves components designed to reduce the ride height of a Chevrolet S10 pickup truck by four inches in the front and six inches in the rear. The “4/6” designation specifies the extent of the drop achieved through the installation of revised suspension parts such as drop spindles, lowering springs, and/or modified leaf springs or blocks.
Implementing such a modification can improve the vehicle’s aesthetics, providing a lower, more aggressive stance. Benefits can include enhanced handling due to a lowered center of gravity. Historically, lowering kits have been popular among automotive enthusiasts seeking to personalize their vehicles’ appearance and performance. However, potential drawbacks include reduced ground clearance and a potentially harsher ride quality, depending on the specific components used and the overall installation.
