74 NovaMan's 1979 Chevy Truck - LS Swap - 5/6 Drop

[1badmonkey]

you are still planning to "work" this truck?

i do believe in the old saying "praise the Lowered" , but that is LOW for a truck you are gonna work.

how are your roads?

and above all, DO IT

Thanks for all the responses. I'm thinking these for the front for just under $500 (5in total drop):

And this for the rear for under $270 (6in drop):

Chris, I added you to a couple Facebook pages for squares. Lots of good tech help there. I wish mine would have been notched when the previous owner did the flip. It rides pretty stiff. Just ask Bernie & Pops.

Good luck on your truck project Chris. Here's some crappy pictures of my old 73 from years ago. But I did the rear flip kit and shorter coils up front. went down 5-6 in the back and 2-3 in the front. had a little bumpy ride on rough roads but wasn't bad for only a $200.00 lowering kit. Nice thing was it was very easy to load things in the back of the truck when you needed to.

Your number 3 option - there are FAR less expensive 4 link/bag options available. Ebay is your friend, but so is JEGS - I have a 4 link/bag system that was to be on the Sledanette... it was like less than $500

it appears JEGS no longer sells their branded one, but even the ride-tech one that requires a bit of fabrication isn't too bad

$450. To that you need to add bag mounts and bags (another $200)... or you could go more custom and simply buy brackets and come up with your own system.

$700 from ebay
