there are a few sites that u can look at for info or pics for ideas. first it depends how low u want it to be/look like. like i got a 2/3 drop right now and i can show u a pic. but after u see what u want then u go for the brand and type of kits and prices. they got western chassis kits, beltech, etc. check out www.sporttruckdirect.com for some kits

I have a 3/4 right now.

Visual help:


That's about the stance you'd get with a 3/4 (my rims/tires are only .44" off stock)

I have 3" dropped coils up front and 4" blocks. (the blocks are not recommended for drops over 2")

Your best and cheapest way would be coils and blocks. But i'd upgrade to shackles/hangers for the rear drop. Much smoother.

Matt99: looks good. Like the painted handles. Only .44" from stock what? R/T combo or..? Also, what roll pan did you use?
Thanks.

Thanks man.

What i mean is that my rims are only .44 inches smaller than my stock rims/tires. So you can get an idea of what it would look like with stock wheels.

And, it's not an R/T combo. Just a straight sport package, though I have since added the R/T flares.

And i have the sir michael's steel roll pan. Watch out for rust though.....stupid steel.....
