lowering
 

I own a 81 short step side, and would like to lower it 2 or 3 inches , lower spindles and shackles , Is there a source online to buy from, or does the online stores like Brothers sell good stuff? is 2 to 4 inch a good choice to use for a every day driver.

i lowerd mine 2 1/2 in the front and 3 in the back. i used spindals in the front and shackels + removed helper leaf in the rear. its a pretty nice ride hight but i still plan to go another 3 inches lower front and back. idk how it rides because its not road legal yet next summer.

The most common method is spindles and springs up front, and shackle and hanger in the rear. A 2/4 drop is rather mild, so you won't have any issues for daily use.
Take a look in our Vendor Marketplace for great deals on suspension parts.

Thank you; I will start looking thru the ads for parts and I will get some pictures up . I think the truck is worth fixing up it came from down south with only 80 k miles on it.
