But the battle I'm dealing with is should I do a 2/4 or a 4/6? Taylor just did his 2/4 on his NBS but wants to go lower. I'm afraid that I'll be stuck in the same boat. Any personal preferences?

No matter how low you go you'll eventually get bored. Mine's been on a 2" shackle, then a 2/2 now a 2/4. Next summer I'm bagging it. If I were you I'd just go with a 4/6
Mines a 2/5, has a nice aggressive stance, mine was originally a 2/4 but with the cal tracs it dropped another inch id love to slam mine but i drive it to hard and the roads are to rough
Go 2/4, you'll be laughing at your buddy as he drags the frame on speed bumps and angled driveways.
Slam it, 5/7 here. If you aint scrapen you hatin. LOL. Atleast to 2"spindels in the front, cut half of one coil on the springs. Then flip kit in the back that will yield a 3/6ish oh and Notch it
Just did 2/4 on mine and im happy with it, mostly cause i cant go lower cause of bad roads and need my bigger snow tires for the winter, or itd be slammed.
The only reason I'm thinking 2/4 is I go down dirt roads a lot, and the cattle guards may present a problem with much more I think.
Dunno about the OBS's but the NBS's even on a 2/4 a notch would be a good idea. mine bottoms out a fair bit.
4/6 put you right where you want to be, although you will need to be careful if some of your roads are really bad.
A 4/6 on an OBS looks really good. You will most certainly want to notch the frame though. As long as youre fairly careful and dont hit bad roads to fast. I loved mine, and it never had to much trouble with bottoming out. If you ever want to go back up its a bit easier and cheaper than continuing lower (provided you save the stock parts). If you want I can send pics of my truck with both the 2/4 and 4/6 drops on it so you can get some ideas.
My 92 was dropped 4/6 and drug on speed bumps but I did have Corvette tires and wheels on it, low profile 17s and 18s. My 93 has a 2/4 drop on it and its very utilitarian and I can take it anywhere without fear and put just about any size within reason tire on it that I want.
I went 3/4 on my trunk just right can go up steep drive with out scraping the front.
I also have 91 rcsb,had a 4/6 not really any probloms but the steep driveways scraping the front air dam. Even have long tubes no problom looked badass vs the 2/4 drop. Now I have air ride so really no probloms.
i would do 2/4 now that you said dirt roads and cattle gaurds
I like 2/4 at the lowest for static drops.
