To lift the front you tighten the keys, to lower you lower the keys.

In the rear to lift you can add shackles. To lower, use drop blocks that go between your axle and leaf spring.

OK. How are you going to do it "customly" without money to buy supplies? There is no way to do it without parts.

Technically you really need an alignment when altering the front height, so there really aren't any "free" ways of raising OR lowering your truck. Cheap ways, sure, but not free.

Sounds like you need to customly leave it alone until you can afford to do it right. Raising or lowering the front is gonna require an alignment or you will waste the front tires.

There is one way to lower it for free, just drop the pressure in all four tires to about 5-8 psi.

Not recommend,though.

What is highly recommed is to get a job that will allow you to "customly" modify your ride the way you like.
