I am looking to change the stance of an old '77 truck I already own - something like the old school gassers.:whacked:
What is the cheapest way to raise the front and lower the rear?

hmmm...What brand of truck and what type of suspension does it have? We are talking a 2WD????
I'd say 10 90# bags of concrete all the way at the back of the bed would be pretty cheap...:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
1977 Ford F100 2WD
Truck is free so this is just a part time experiment!:whacked:

Easiest way would be what is called a flip kit for the rear, what it does is mount the rear end housing on top of the springs instead of under them. Did it on my '71 F-100, pics in my gallery I think if you're interested.....
It would make the rear tires BITE...Quote:

Any Paul Bunyan fans will know what I mean. Damn low in front and Damned high in the rear, and zip for traction. I had a set of 10" wide Mickey thompsons on that truck, and even with a 38" length of steel railroad track welded between the rear frame horns, it would break the back tires loose at 40 miles an hour if you punched it. A fun but scary ride---great for smoke shows:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
