Title: best way to lower 75 GMC halfton
Post by: zl6 on October 07, 2003, 10:27:00 am

I have a 75 GMC Sierra Classic and i want to give her a little lower ride.  I don't want to slam it so i am thinking about cutting my springs.  Does the ride quality suffer that much if i only want to lower it 1 or 2 inches?  Will an alignment straighten everything out if i cut the springs (will tires wear even)?  how much should i cut off for a 1" lower, 2" lower?  For the rear, would it be better to take off a leaf or get shackles?  How much does taking 1 leaf off  lower the truck?  I just want all the information before i jump into things.  i appreciate anyones help.
