I have the 3/5 drop kit from Tony at TBSS and I have been thinking about maybe going a but lower by getting a set of 1"/2" drop keys and maybe is newer 6" drop read spring. Right now I have the 3/5 ultimate cornering kit with 3" a arms and the TB spring. What do you guys think?

DOO IT!!
Why not.. Nothing wrong with going lower... I got the opportunity to test the new 6" springs tony has coming out and they are awesome. I'm getting a set as soon as he gets them. About a month away I think... The truck was dumped out back with the new 6" springs.. borderline tucking 26's.. and I don't get rubbing in the back.. my wheel shop cut my wheel well liners.

I'd say go lower. I would myself also but I'd have to get a new set of wheels with a different offset. My 3/5 with the 24s are just barely clearing as is. Be sure to post some pics when you do.
Tony, just curious; how much are the 6" springs going for?

225 shipped lower 48 states.

Ive done a few tahoes with spinldes and a arms good thing is that you can crank the keys up if you wanted to get 4 inches instead of 5. On the silveradoss board sold many of those guys same set up for 4-5 no issues and they use the same front upper/lowers/spindles

Im thinking about making a 4-5/5-6 package for the 00-06 guys but most people just want the springs for now.....

Spindles and drop arms.. That would be pretty low up front. Not that it's a bad thing but might really start running into rubbing issues.. I gonna just be running spindles and the 6" springs.. Kinda has the squatted look cuz the rear is lower. And leaves the front up just enough to get good turning and hardly any rubbing.. Might slap in my drop keys but if it rides like crap which it prolly will I'll pull them back out. Put the keys in just for some sick pics lol
