We think you'll agree that it looks tons better, and we're happy to report that it handles like a dream now.

If your truck has got mileage you should budget for ball joints and control arm bushings. It will save you from doing the job twice. Excellent video.

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I've been wanting to get a C/K1500 2wd and lower it for awhile now, I have done a lot of suspension work already but this filled in the blanks on truck lowering.. My granddad had a 1989 1500 that was lowered about 3-4 with a 383 stroker with a Holley 750CFM double pumper, and custom exhaust from the motor back, AMAZING TRUCK and I miss it so much... Its about time to build my own.

On the front, strip everything out of your way and loosen the ball joint nuts just a few turns with the spring still applying pressure and rap the steering knuckle hard with a hammer and usually they will break loose without having to use a pickle fork and messing up your ball joint boots. Then use the spring compressor.

Just watched ur video.step by step instruction Nice. I have a 63 gmc short box step side with a 1972 front end with a 2-1/2 drop spindle on air bags and can't get the bottom of the a frame from hitting the ground. olso have a1983 posi rear on air. the truck rides very rough. Have I missed something in my project or is this just the nature of the beast. I am willing to lose the bags and go back to coils and coil overs if I can get a better ride and keep it low. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe u could do an older truck next Tks.

Great video it actually motivated me to lower my truck 4 inches in the back and I used the 2 inch lowering spring leaf hanger and the 2 inch lowering shackles and I love the way it came out but on the passenger side the rear shock extender made it uneven so I removed it and now it's 1 quarter off and inch off do you why is that? And I would love to know is there's a way I can fix it thank you

Questions: 1. Did you not grease the new bushings and spindle when you installed them? 2. Does the castle nut on the spindle only have a hand tight torque? 3. What are the typical torque specs for suspension components? P.S. I would of cleaned and freshly coated the frame to match your new shiny suspension components to make a super clean look as well. Great video. Thanks!

That truck looks good at the end. If it was mine, I'd do a roll pan out back, tint the windows, body color grille with the quad lamp setup and use smoked lights with an HID kit, get rid of the chrome bumper up front and go with a painted bumper and paint it to match, then paint the door handles to match. I see you did mirrors in another episode, I'd paint them to match too. Then take out the factory bench and put in buckets and make a console and a sub box. Oh yeah, and a cowl hood.

Thanks for this info. It helped me a lot in figuring what I want to do with my 1997 Chevy Suburban I just got. It will be an every day ride,....for now. What size wheel and tire are you running? Also will that brand spindle work with most big brake kits if I want to lower it first and do brake conversion later? I notice how some big brake kits come with their own spindle; is there a reason for that?

Even though this video is 8 year old it"s very informative !!!! Great video but one thing that they didn't address was that the rear leaf spring shackles are about 2 inches above the trucks frame so when putting the bed back on it will be 2 inches higher in the back of the bed than the front of the bed and this will eventually cause a hole to be worn through the floor of the bed.

My alignment has been off, well places I took it to said because of dropping it the alignment can be 100%. Is it because of just using springs? Also I want to go lower so what would you recommend?
