Re: best way to lower?
springs and a frame notch for about 5 inches, you could go lower with blocks, but i would rather have airbags, personally, that way you have an adjustable height.

Re: best way to lower?
thanks thats what i was figureing. wheres about the cheapest place to get them and also a new panhard bar too assuming i need it going that low. i found some springs on cpp for 95 bucks. yeah bags are cool but my daily is bagged and bodied on 24's so its kinda nice having something static believe or not, lol.

Re: best way to lower?
Im lowered 7" in the rear with 5" springs, 2" blocks, c-notch and adjustable track-bar all from CPP... pretty good company to deal with in my eyes, good prices and high-quality parts

Re: best way to lower?
I bought the "deluxe track bar kit" that is one side adjustable and also comes with the shock relocators, and yeah I notched it as well. I'll try to get some pics soon.

Re: best way to lower?
looks really good man! Hey, I have some recent pics but they dont really show a very good angle for the rear drop- plus she's only been driven a couple times so she'll probably still settle some:
