Lowering Help
 

Lowering a 81 1/2t scottsdale.Already decided to go with dropped spindles in the front.What are my options for lowering the rear.I have never lowered a leaf spring rear.
This drop is for funtion,not looks.In other words,need to have it lower for easier access!!
Thanks for any advise,Mike

how low you gonna go? you could flip the rear for about 5"s of drop or lowering shackles, or blocks, or droped leafs

What I want is probably a little rake,I would guess a 4 in. drop.What is the most cost effective way to get it?I still want to haul stuff.

Buy a shackle/hanger kit from Bell Tech. I think it cost me about $100 when I bought mine a couple years ago. This will not affect your ride and is fairly easy to install. You cannot put in blocks, all 73-87's have the axle mounted below the springs, therefore if you put in blocks you will be actually raising the vehicle.

Thanks for the help guys!!!!!!!

Where can I get some cheap drop spindles
for a 85 chevy truck

The lowest price I have seen was $212 a
pair

I realy dont want to pay a lot

Also some one told me that I could
drop it by fliping the spindles upside
down and swaping sides - Whats up wit that?
