Good old Belltech drop shocks...... Not the best, but OK and inexpensive

And here's where it's at now - About an 8-8 1/2" drop using stock springs. It has an axle flip, relocated front spring hangers, drop shackles, extended shock mounts, step notch etc. Still need to work out what gas tank I'll end up using - that will require some more fab work for sure.

About $400 into the rear suspension & frame fab, so pretty cheap drop overall. Not real pretty like a 4-link setup, but this truck is just being built on the cheap, so it is what it is.

Next up - cab rust.....
