First and easiest it to crank the t-bars down, should get you about 1 maybe 2 in the front. The rear is like any s-series. I know they used to make drop keys and I think I've seen then on ebay.

how come you want to lower your 4x4 with the brush guard and your tail light guards?

t bars = torsion bars they are the long tube lookin things that run along the inside of the frame which have a bolt in the back of them that can be cranked up for lift and loosened to lower.

drop blocks are metal blocks that you put between the rear axle and the leaf springs

drop shackles are shackles that are at the back of the rear leaf springs that brings the leaves up closer to the truck.

(if i missed anything someone add to)

I want to lower it because i have so much wheel gap and it just looks wrong to me plus it would help when going around corners and stuff hopefully... Thanks for clearing up all that stuff with the parts.
