Whats next?

Already have some 2" drop shackles back there, but I've got new shocks and leaf springs so I'm only on maybe 3/4-1" of drop. What is the next cheapest thing to drop it?

Are you wanting to lower the back more? If so there are drop shackles that will lower more than 2".

You could always cut a coil out of the front springs. never done it myself, but could give you a few inches. or you could just torch all four corners and she'll sag down real nice

You could load up the bed with something heavy - firewood, bags of unmixed conrete - a pallet of grass sod to drop the rear.
For the front, find ya a real big girl to ride with ya around town - if she has a heavy sister and you don't have a console - BONUS! That should take care of the front -
TADA - your lowered more!

i completely forgot you got new leafs...im betting thats why you sit so high now

im tellin ya man, 3/5 drop. Coils and a flip kit can be done for <200 bucks...most expensive thing is gonna be the coils unless you can find a good deal on some used ones.

notch my truck and lets sink the rear, and for the front, i'll wait til you get a whole 2wd front end suspension, so i can ditch my 4wd.
