LivinloudDD Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 http://www.stylintrucks.com/ This is where I get my parts. Many other places you can get it from. Some sites have lower kits then others. Try Google and it will show you many sites and you can pick and choose where you want to buy from. 99' Chevy S10 4 Yellow top optima batteries Stock alt gonna be changin soon 1 run of Stinger 0 gauge Alpine 105 Clarion EQ 2 Digital Designs M2a Hifonics 100.4 Pair of older model DD 6.5 new T2 tweeters. 2 Tantric Sound HD 15's 15s 155.5db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 McGaughy's makes a great drop kit for that year. I had my 90 Chevy down 4-6 with a Western kit. I hear great things about the first company I mentioned though. Stylintrucks sells that kit I believe. How low do you wanna go? Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

CleanSierra Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Most companies make a 2"-4" or 3"-4" or you can flip that rear axle and go 6" in the back. Whatever kit you decide on, go with drop spindles in the front. Your tires will appreciate it Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

CleanSierra Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Right now, the way your truck sits, the leaf springs are resting on top of your axle. You get new U-bolts when you buy a flip kit. The leaf springs get flipped to UNDER the axle. That puts you down 6 inches. I'd highly suggest buying a bolt on C-notch kit as well. Otherwise, your axle will literally beat the heck out of your frame, and greatly reduce the rear suspension travel. Once you've don't the rear, throw a 2" drop spring and 2" drop spindle on the front. 4 new shocks for front and rear too. I had a 1990 Chevy stepside just like it and I was down 4"-6" and it was tough looking. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Dylank811 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 If you're wanting to take care of that dent, you might be able to tap some of it out if you took the door panel off! Can't help much with the drop, I'm not very familiar with truck suspension. 2004 Ford Mustang GTPioneer DEH-P7200HD head unitMach 460 Factory System Cadence FXA1600.2 Cadence S2W10 Cadence 4 AWG wiring Ported box, 2 cubes, 32 hertz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
