Here's What I got and What I want, What's the best way to get there in this economy?

Welcome to the forum. I suggest you buy a case of cut off wheels, and get busy....

There are several ways to go low. You will need to decide what fits your budget.

Start your research here by drilling down and deciding whats best for you.

NO SUCH THING! The price to get low and lay rockers is not cheap because one modification leads to another. My best advice is to buy a Porterbuilt Dropmember, read and ask in this forum as much as possible, and do as much as possible labor work yourself. You will have less hassles, less lost time, and a good guide from your product maker (choose them wisely).

A dropmember is an awesome way to go. I was going cheap, budget build, and there's no way. DM is upwards to 2g, but it's a good way to lay. I have thousands in mine and it's on a Z in front. Dig thru my pics. I did it pretty cheap and it's done right. Body digs in the dirt. There's never low enough. Next on my list is bodydropped and doored!

Porterbuilt dropmember is the best way, I did not want to spend the money either but I saved like carzy to get it, I dont think people know its a full kit, not just a dropmember, everything needed but bags and a steering rack. do some home work, it worth it in the long run

One word.

Dropmember.

[orange71]

I have the dropmember on my truck and i backhalfed the rear and the truck lays the pinch weld on the ground, truck is located in upland if you want to stop by and get some ideas- Chris

[kev2809]

will it lay with drop spindles, cupped lca's and 3" "z"? does the dropmember drop the same amount as a "z"?

[Inverter]

Everyone's said it already,D-member.
If you plan on keeping the truck,spend the $ on the Dropmember and go from there. Its does so much more than what a Z will do for you. One of which is a narrowed track width which makes it possible to drive super low and still have some steering room. Im gonna guess those wheels you have dont have the best B/S for a bodied truck? Another reason to DM it....

I did it the hard way I Z'ed 2inch, 1inch sectioned crossmember, 3inch drop spindles, and cut lca long nights and lots of hard work. Lots and lots of cutting and welding. Buy the time its all said and done its not that much cheaper. If you want it the easy way save up for a dropmember saves advil. Next projects getting one!

I also recommend the dropmember, but you will spend 2 grand easy with drop spindles, air bags, swaybar,steering rack etc. and that's just for the front of the truck. I would figure out my budget first and see what I can afford.
