cheapest way of lowering a truck

[77c15]

Summit Racing Equipment offers "Ground Force" (under Summit name, of course) shackles for fairly cheap, and   Truck just started carrying individual lowering components. Hope this helps. Check out my page (page 2) for my shackle install.

well i got another question, what do ya'll mean by axle wrap? is that something bad?i just want my truck to sit a little lower in the back, maybe an inch or a little over.i don't want it to sit lower in the back than in the front.isn't stock height 2 inches higher then the front?

Axle wrap is where the axle twists the springs up in the front.  I haven't had a problem with this with a normal flip kit.  If you use blocks in addition to this is when it can happen.

I personally cannot recommend air shocks on anything.

i take it you've had bad luck with these. is there a downside to them?

I had a set on my 74 nova, it worked great!, I could tune the shocks to put just enough pressure to make the tires hook up  the only downside was when I was driving home on night in the rain (isn't it weird how things break down late at night out in the boondocks in sucky weather?)  and I blew the back right shock out... not fun.. driving along , hit a bump and suddenly the back right of the car feels like it is dragging,  not fun to drive home , and not fun trying to get the jack under the car.. look a stock 74 nova hatchback and you will understand..
other then that , I loved the cheap tune-ability of the shocks .
