hey, i was wondering if anyone has lowered a 3/4 ton pick up i am looking to go 4 1/2 in the front and 6 in the rear and also how hard would it be to do this.

Thanks

Easy.
2.5" spindles, 2" springs and a flip kit.
Don't forget quality drop shocks and a front sway bar.
Look at PerformanceOnLine (POL) for 3/4 ton drop spindles.

but what would you do about the rear springs, some people told me that if i keep the 3/4 ton springs in it wont ride as good.

It will ride just as good as it does now.
Plus quality drop shocks will do wonders.
