    do it right or you will be pissed at yourself. If you plan on bagging the truck in the future you will need drop spindles anyway so you might as well do that now. Dropped Ibeams or control arms up front are another option to go with that will no really alter your ride quality and will be parts that will be needed anyway if you decide to bag it in the future. in the rear you never ever ever want to flip your leaf springs, it is very dangerous. go get yourself some blocks that are hella cheap and do it like that. Also depending on how low you go you will need some drop shocks in the front and the back. Belltech makes the best suspension componets on the planet but they can be expensive. DJM is second best and very reasonably priced. Remember that your suspension is the only thing between you and the highway so you want to do it right and not cut corners.

    Although if you do cut corners, make sure you know what you're doing. If you don't, you can fuck up. Bad. If you do know, then cutting corners isn't bad at all. I've never bought after marker suspension in my life and it's never been a regrettable decision for me. I've always done the backyard job. Later, QD.

    everything on my truck is belltech except for the DJM coils and the parts are top notch.
