the front will be easy the rear will take some work.you will have to take leafes out and do a lowering shackel. cut your spring 1 coil in front or use half ton stuff

yeah i was just going to do 2'' drop coils and 2'' drop shackles in the front for 4 inches total. but the back was where i was stuck.

do the leaf springs measure the same across the top. with half tons early classic ent has drop leaf springs and shackles. or take leafes out of the pack it will,nt haul as much but it will lower it

I just ordered 2" shackles and 2" hangers for the back of mine, if I need more I'm just going to pull a leaf spring or two. If you really need the payload throw a set of bags on the rear. You can always make a flip for the rear pretty easy, or I think the 1/2 ton stuff might work?

There are several options for the front, I'm going with 3" spindles (western chassis) and if it's not low enough I'll cut 1/2 coil or buy some drop coils.
