Re: Need help finding a cheap way to lower my truck
Cut one coil out of your springs and get shackels for the back and remove some leafs that will get you close to 2/4 for about 80 bucks.
Be warned though cutting the coils and removing leafs will change the ride quality of your truck. |

Check summit for lowering springs. They are pretty affordable.

Welcome to the forum MarshMellow. There are no rules on what makes a "Show Truck" so you can have what you want.
