The most simple and least expensive way to lower your truck is to "stagger" your springs. This involves removing every other leaf. The spring experts say, "You should never have less than 4 leaves."
In the rear you can raise the forward rear spring hanger to the top of your frame. Sounds backwards, but it will actually give you drop.
For more options, give Diane a call at 1-800-252-1956.(She's my mommy)
Thanks,
Jesse

What do yall think about lowering the front 5" this way-
option 1: 3" droped straight axle w/ 2" lowering springs
option 2: 5" mono lowering springs
Also the catalog says that all measurments are from original stock height....so since my springs have lost all there curve, how much drop do i really need cause im afraid to get the 5" drop and need more or get it and it be WAY to much drop!

Any help would be great THANKS!!!
