Lowered the truck

[Blackpony]

Decided to go ahead and lower my truck for a little better stance.

Before


After


I'm gonna raise the front about 1/2 inch to level it a bit more. As it sets the front is 1 1/2 lower then the rear, then off to get an alignment..

Also I'm looking for a good running 350 shortblock to swap with my current 305. Lmk if you have something affordable..

looks good! i think it looks fine how it sits now.

I ordered summit brand front springs, and got rear shackles from oreillys. Don't order the summit shackles as it will leave you with a huge rake. About 3'' difference.. Use the ones from oreillys and this is what you will get.. The biggest thIng is getting it to align. It's gonna need a ton of shims to pull it back straight..

Yeah I think I have around $150 in lowering it. I also replaced all the ball joints while I had it apart.

Even made the house in the background look better.

Leave it as it is. That way when you load it the truck will sit level instead of low in the rear. Nice truck!

Your truck looks perfect like that.

You might as well get a BellTech flip kit and go ahead and cnotch the frame. I like 4" in the front and 6" in the rear. Plus the way it handles is awesome. We used the Belltech kit on my buddies old Chevy truck a few years ago, and it turned out awesome!

No, I don't want it that low. To be honest the front is lower then what I wanted. Was suppose to be a 2-3 in drop up front but ended up being closer to a 5 in drop.
