Thread: Lowering a Chevy Truck

Tweet

It is a very common practice to notch the bed support to accomodate new hangers. I would stick with DJM for the spindles, and at all costs stay away from Chassis Tech (AIM, airbaggit.com, ect.). Try sportruck.com for the grill.

Cheap, quick, easy. Lowering blocks in the rear. I don't know if you can get more than 3 inches, but a good machine shop can make some 4 inches. Do not use 2 2", or a 3 and a 1". Do not use more than 1 block per side. Noone here ever mentions lowering blocks, and I have used them on several applications, for long periods of time, no problems, no issues.

If you have the rear end above the leafs then lowering blocks will work. If the rear end is below the leafs (which I think most chevy trucks are)blocks will raise the truck up.

Yes, you are correct. As a person who never owned a Chevy, I did not realize springs were on top of axle.
