Re: How to achieve the stance I want

I'm good at spending other people's money !!

Slam it man !! (kidding) This is a bit more than a 2" spindle drop, but .. just sayin.

Good looking truck regardless but my vote would be 2 or maybe 2.5" dropped spindles. Cut springs or even new dropped springs would be cheaper but it's more work, and don't foget you'll need an alignment if you cut the springs. ($75-100) If you do spindles, you keep the same ride plus there's no need for alignment. Occasionally you can find some on the forum for sale. Ex someone with a static drop going with bags, or a different style arms.
