Good question mestapho2000. All the parts was around $900. I bought everything, shocks and all. Its alot to some, but if you want it right its the way to go. I had this done in 2004, so I would bet that the price has come down some anyway. Im gonna keep this truck, so it was a good investment for me because I wanted the lowered look and improved handling without messing up the ride.

Well, maybe the prices havent changed much!
rear bumper? 1968 ford truck chrome rear bumper with add-on bump steps, original for this year truck, and other models as well. I hope I answered your question right.

Thanks guys for all the coments. Anyone who wants their truck lowered WITHOUT cutting up their frames etc, I would have to say this is the way to go. Same lenght on the lowered ibeams as in the stock version, bolts right up. I am running 8 inch ford wheels all the way around. If I missed someones question, please ask. If there are any other questions, dont hesitate to ask. I havent been on here in a while but I will check from time to time.

b_duncan, I cant remember the exact name but I bought them along with all the lowering parts as they offered the lowering shocks as well. I do know that you can get shocks that will work from various auto parts stores once you know the correct size to get after its lowered.
