Body drop or suspension drop

[Vanyuha]

I was wondering if anyone has droped their body by them selfs and cheap, i wanted to drop my body alittle maybe 3" because its only a 2wd and i think it looks great when its down more. Basicaly what ive heard is that you need 2 springs in front and then the leaf springs on the back and it will do the job, but i checked out the price on those and there to damn expesive . Maybe some cutting just tell me if anyone has done this and tell me how u did it cheap Thank you

you can cut the front coil springs AND remove 2 leaf springs from the leaf package and it will drop like 2 inches

well a body drop is A LOT of work...the time you'd have invested would outweigh the price of lowering springs for the front.

The rear you can drop 2" for free by flipping the rear shackles (well you gotta buy bolts). I don't suggest cutting coils at all.

cut the front coils 2-3" and do an axle fli[p on the back....unbolt the axle from the springs and when you replace them put the springs UNDER the axle instead of on top....you will need a welder to weld the spring saddles under the axle instead of on the top
