Nice truck,, I would`nt go too much lower maybe 2".. if ya go too much lower you`ll need diff rear shocks due to the travel of the piston height. Good luck with it.

Yup, you just use drop blocks for the rear axles. You cam get em on ebay for sixty bux. 2 inch or less so you dont need the change rear shocks as the guy above me said. Something like this:

Or you can get a 4" block for the rear, and a 2" spring ddrop for the front, but you will need rear shocks. It would look sick tho
