3/4 lowering kit - who to buy from

[Alex1]

I'm looking for a complete kit (if it exists) for a 3/4 drop for a 1980 Step. Which company is best, are there things I should look for? I found Belltech? I think is the name, is their stuff OK?

I'm very happy with my Western Chassis products. My truck is 2.5/4 and very driveable. I daily drove it for 3 or 4 years and I never worried about what I drove over or how fast. Lower looks cooler, though.

Awesome, thanks!

Now do I do a 3/4 or a 4/6? LOL

honestly....i'd do a 4/6...if you dont do it now, you'll regret not goin low enough

[Alex1]

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. LOL A 4/6 is still drivable right? Like speed bumps etc...

Is that what you have?

i got a ton of pics of that badboy

i found a pic of the wc spindles-not the "cheapest" out there, but the quality is real good

bigarmzz knows wut he is talking about so i would polly follow his advice, but just to give you another option summit racing sells spindles, shackles, hangers, flip kits, etc as well and u cant beat there pricing just FYI

This is what I'm looking at:

'73-'87 C-10/C-15 4/6 Deluxe Drop Kits:
For all the drop of a 4"/6" and the best ride quality money
can buy, go with the Deluxe Drop (Option A) using new rear
Smooth-Rider leafs and shackles instead of the flip kit. Aside
from this change in the rear componentry, the kit is otherwise
identical to the 4"/6" Economy Drop and includes C-sections.
For the guy who wants the look of the 4"/6" drop, but still
wants the capability to haul a load or tow a boat, our Deluxe
Drop (Option B) adds an AirLift Slamair kit with 1800# of
load leveling capacity to the rear flip kit you see 2 kits above
it the 4"/6" Economy Drop. This kit keeps your loaded truck
level after it's been dropped. Have your cake and eat it too!

'73-'87 C-10 / C-15 4"/6" Deluxe Drop-A: $779.95 This one! plus shocks.

'73-'87 C-10/C-15 4"/6" Deluxe Drop-B: $719.95

Don't forget to add 4 Nitro-Slammer shocks to your kit! Better ride quality (less bottoming & bouncing) for just $44.95 each !
