This refers to a lowering kit specifically designed for trucks and SUVs, typically manufactured by IHC Suspension. The “4/6” designation indicates the extent of the drop, with a 4-inch reduction in ride height at the front and a 6-inch reduction at the rear. These kits often include components like lowering springs, spindles, shocks, and sometimes a rear axle flip kit, depending on the vehicle and desired drop.
Implementing such a system provides several advantages. It enhances the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal by creating a lower, more aggressive stance. Functionally, it can improve handling characteristics through a lower center of gravity, leading to reduced body roll during cornering. Historically, lowering vehicles has been a popular modification among automotive enthusiasts seeking to personalize their vehicles and improve performance.
