Hey I'm fixing to order lowering kit, how do I measure the rotor size? Just the thickness of rotor? Thanks

For drop spindles you need to know if they are 1 inch wide or 1 1\4

Measure the width of the rotor and post the dimensions

It's 1" thick. But now I have new problems, I'm having worst luck with power steering leak it keeps spraying out of the line where it's attached to steering box happened three times now. I'm gonna have to get a new hose I think.

Got lowering kit ordered supposed to b here on Saturday. Would it be easier to do the rear if I removed the bed?

Removing the bed will make it easier.  What kind of kit did you get for the rear?

Are you getting a bolt in notch?  If so remove the bed.

Well I'm installing c notch kit now, went to remove leaf springs and the 3rd one is broken on both sides do u guys think it would be a bad idea just to remove it completely? Thanks

how many leafs in the pack?  If 5 you can remove it.  If 3, I wouldn't recommend removing it without replacing it.
