budget slammin!

hey i know that the best way to lower and all that is with spindles and drop shackles...flip kits etc.

well this truck i have is basically a fun little toy and im not spending much on it... i found out that i defineatly have blow-by..
since this truck has turned out to be basic junk, im goin full blown red neck low budget customs!

i wanna lower it...CHEAP! im not TOO picky on the ride quality either.. since this is a truck that i really only drive to work and play around with...i sold my 94 wrangler so i could have something to screw up and have fun with!

so i was thinking of getting some 3/4 ton front springs and cutting them, thinking that they will be a little stiffer and stronger than the regular 1/2 ton springs

and i was thinking of just using lowering blocks instead of spending the 150 or so for the shackle hanger kit....i know everyone will try and talk me into the right way to do things, but like i said this truck is basically a beater... im gonna do a little bit of bodywork and spray it satin black like the old hotrods..and tape off some flames and spray them with rattle cans... i know this isnt the right way to do this. im just wanting to have some fun.... so if any of you know of CHEAP @ss ways to lower our trucks let me know...

another thing.... this board has been great.
and i appreciate all the time whoever it is puts into this site!

thanks in advance!
