Re: Dropped 3/4 ton pics???
Tony I am on my wifes laptop, so I don't have any pics. Dig up some pics of Jason Hills short crewcab. He retained the 3/3 ton suspension so he could tow with it.
Sorry, but I couldnt find any on his site either.

Re: Dropped 3/4 ton pics???
lowriderbowtie- I was going to defend you and point out that the pic is dated 26th so it could have been the day after Christmas.
Jeff the 3/3 suspension was a rare shortbed crewcab option. Shesh, and you call yourself a 73-87 aficionado.

How did you do that on a 3/4? Cut springs in front and shackles in back? I like it and need to do that on one of mine (L6 truck - sits very high).
