Dropping on a very very small budget?

Double check to make sure it is for a C20. When you going to do the rear drop? I am going to bag my C20 and I have the shackles/hangers but it wont be for a few months.

I spent $426 last night on just the front alone, spindles/springs/ball joints/bushings. I have no idea how much the previous owner put into the back with the c-notch, flip, and shocks.

Won't removing a leaf hurt your towing capacity though? My truck is only a half ton, but I'd still like to be able to pull the bass boat to the lake, or tow a small trailer for moving furniture and stuff.

How could you determine if your shocks are at the right angle? Is there a better angle than stock? Or perhaps once you lower it, you need to change the angle.
