I need help lowering the a 00 lightning I want a 2/3 drop. What would be the best and cheapest route to take. Thanks Brad

 

Go with the FRPP set up. It is a 1/2 drop. Check out Vinnies truck. He has it on his L and I think it looks perfect. The kit can be had for less than $200.http://www.mdsonline.ca/vinmod.htm

 

I have a 2000 and I used Belltech shackles and Eibach Springs to lower my truck. Pictures in sig.

don't go over 2" shackles, you'll get really sloppy

 

No, they are 2 inch shackels and 1 inch *cough-2 inch* springs.

springs were supposed to be 1, but more like 1.5-2.

How do you like those eibachs? I just ordered the same thing, but I've got 1000+ miles of ocean to cross before I can install them!

 

belltech part #4804 springs will give you the 2" drop you are looking for in the front, as will western chassis 2" drop A-arms if you want to retain the stock springs and ride quality (these are $370 for the pair tho )...I run the belltech springs and I am very happy with them...I can't say the same for the so called 3" shackles I run in the rear though. while they are quality pieces, they will not give the 3" rear drop that you (and I) are looking for. I am probably going to remove a leaf from the rear springs, because I dont want to do hangers and i cant justify spending $110 on another set of shackles (the new 4" ones) to gain another 1/2 to 3/4 inch of drop as you can see in my sig pic, my truck still sits a tad too high in the back

hope this helps
