lowering a 70 sport custom
Has anybody lowered their truck, I was looking at a 3/4 drop that comes with bent beams, and coils, rear shackle and hanger. What have others done to drop their truck? I want it right, not on the ground, just sporty.

If you want a 3/4 drop, I would buy dropped I-beams in the front and a shackle and hanger combo in the back. The beams will give you a solid 3 inches and the shackles will give you 2 in the back and the hangers will give you 2 more in the back. By the way, where did you find the "bent beam and coil combo?" Maybe you were meaning dropped beams like I"m talking about, but I was just curious if someone is bending them and selling coils with them for only 3 inches.

I found them thru godfather customs, djm has the kit for 700 bucks, with out shocks. Not too shabby to me.
Why lower it?, give it a more aggressive look, and handle better, right not it handles like a tugboat.

Hey, I am no kid by a long shot...and I think that lowering looks pretty good...I guess I got so much negative input when I was a kid that I think "whatever turns you on".....My son is soupin' up a 350 chev. and adding chrome....I think it is great.....You only live once...for sure!
