i know you can flip the shackles for 2" what can i do to do for one more inch
 
take out some leafs? a flip kit?
 
flip shackles, flip kit, mono leaf, notch frame, stuff like that tire size also has to do with the ride height
 
i did just flip kit and got 3-4" in the back. then u can shackle it. all depends on how low u wanna go. flip kits= like $40-$50 super easy to do also.
 
You can take off the thick over-load leaf on each side & get another inch at the back bumper:headbang: (but you won't be able to carry the max load unless you install air-adjustable shocks:D). But, from what I hear--flip kits are the easiest(and you can probably modify the parts in the flip kit to get the look ur after):icon_hornsup:
 
or you can just add a block after you flip it? same thing as lift blocks just opposite effect.

Yea my 97 has the overload leaf removed an it dropped it down about roughly 2-3 inches, an it was free to do
 
yea after i get new coils in front i am going to add a block in the back but it gets awfully close to the frame.

yea i would do a flip kit but im just lookin for about 3 inches in the back and 2 inches up front
 
and also i can cut the springs in the front about 2 inches right?
 
I'm back! you oughta not cut em--safest thing is to buy a pair of lowering springs to suit you:icon_thumby:. I'm a machinist and cut my coil springs, but I wouldn't advise anybody else to do it. Besides, you can put in new springs in about the same amount of time that you can cut/test drive, cut/test drive, etc, until you get em right--or you can just take a chance and wack off a couple coils & hope you got it right the first time:icon_surprised:
 
well it wouldnt hurt to go to a scrap yard and get a set and do it......but it wont hurt anything like oil pan bein crushed by the i beams
