Talking Pictures & Info on Lowering a 3/4 Ton...

Hey Everybody,

I'm just wondering if anyone has pictures of Lowered 3/4 Tons, not droped to the ground, but just a nice stance.

I'm just fishing for ideas for my 1980 C20

Please feel free to mention how you lowered your truck.

Thanks!


Regards,

David
