These are all of the pictures Patman03sprwcrw has in his photobucket. I'm sure there is bound to be other pictures across the internet about these parts.

i hauled tons of stuff when i was 2/4 dropped. And have still hauled some pretty decent loads and towed some trailers.
well blacked out when i had that 4,000lbs in the bed i scraped the hitch a few times when i hit some bumps do to michigans lovey roads.
thanks for the pictures dirty.
so all he did in the front was get a set of shorter spring?
Blacked out got any pictures of yours?

im failing to understand what crossmember that is next to the gas tank and muffler. the only one i have is holding my trans up.
as far as the frame notchs what happens if you dont do those? or do i not wanna find out?
how much are 2/4" drop shackles? also how much would leaf spring under the axle gain me for drop??
any pictures of your front springs?

it should be the crossmember that the rear 2 bolts of your cab are bolted to. But then again im not really sure what the underside of a excab looks like.
i wouldnt really worry about notching the frame if youre only doing 4-5" of drop in the rear.
hanger/shackle kits are probably around 150-200.
a flip kit will get you about 5"
and i dont really have any pics of my front set up. But im running belltech drop spindles and Lightning coils with 1 1/2 coil cut.

and if i just cut 2-3" of coil out of the front or move the coil buckets up wouldnt that do the same thing?

thanks for the info. any idea on putting the leaf spring under the axle tube? pretty sure the tube is 3-4" tall so putting the leafs under would lower the truck wouldnt it?

my rear set up right now is a flip kit (axle tube on top of leafs) and 2" drop shackles and it has me sitting around a 6-7 inch drop.
but just the flip by itself is 4-5 inches
do it the cheap way lol
its all good man.
if you wanna go cheap id suggest grabbing a set of stock lightning coils and cutting about a coil off of those.
of course you should get the correct drop shocks for the front and rear
