suspension lowering question
Eventually I want to buy all the parts to rebuild the front end but not until later (not a lot of funds) for now, I'm getting ready to purchase a drop kit. 3" front 4" back. With shock locators and new shocks.
With all those rusty parts in that old pick up, what parts am I most likely going to destroy when removing parts to get to the springs? I want to minimize down time and order everything at once and get it done in one day.

Re: suspension lowering question
Well the steering is way more important than lowering in my opinion as safety FIRST looks second. If you are going to do springs, that is the time to do upper and lower balljoints and the A-arm bushings, otherwise you will have to pull the front end apart again to replace those parts later, and I hate to redo anything, save up for the front springs, ball joints, a-arm bushings then do all of that at once.
