How far are you looking to go down? new coils and shocks run around $150 and you can go 4" with out too much work

2" lowering blocks w/4" drop coils for 6" rear drop. Get some shock relocation brackets for more shock travel & better shock angles. At 6" rear drop you'll also need an adjustable Panhard bar (the longer the better).

I know it isn't the best picture without a bed or front end on it, but hope this helps |

3" drop springs in front and 5" springs in the rear. I have the adjustable pan hard bar out back and it made a big difference. I did not get shock relocation brackets but will. I did not need to notch my frame, I have heard it both ways about that. I want 2" blocks out back and 2" drop spindles up front soon.

I have 4 inch drop coils and a 1 inch blocks on my 62. I have a adjustable Panhard bar but did not relocate my shocks and was not planning on it.
