lowering suggestions!?

I have a 93 Koter...its extended cab with the 5.2l

it is bagged FBSS right now but not notched or anything in rear jus bag behind axle and mono leaf wit like a 3" block

I am runnin 20s on it right now they are MOB Genovese 245/35zr20 if i can sell them i want to get some 18s

well here is what i am wanting.............
I want to remove the airride on the truck, i decided to go a different route with the truck.
I want to lower it just enough to clear my wheels by an inch or so but i want a good somewhat stiff suspension so i do not hit my tires on fenders when hit a bump

I am wanting to see where best places for kits or individual parts would be?

I am wanting to run drop spindles, springs and drop shocks of some sort up front and i want to get a set of leafs with all the leafs(mine are mono right now) and then im guessing the way to go would be shackle/hangers and a block for the rear?

any suggestions? would i get the ride height that i want? does anyone know what size drop i'd need to achieve this?

Wanting to worry more on interior, paint and body and start workin on the engine!

Thanks,
Remo

check out Sport Truck Direct - Home Page for the individual parts or for the kit.

i just picked up a 2/4 drop (spindles/shackle hanger kit) from them with drop shocks for something like $300. i'm still trying to find some 1" drop springs myself, but it looks like that site has some 2" drop springs...

hope that helps

your best bet, since you already have blocks is buy leaf springs if the make it your year, if not go with the shackle hanger combo plus blocks. for the front def spindles and coils. you should get the drop you want, just need to make sure you get the right parts, ie....v6 coils for a v6, big drop spindles 3in or so and 2 or 3 in coils
