Re: would like to lower the 69

Any lowered truck will ride worse than stock. The lower you go, the worse the ride when talking springs. Air retains some of the ride and when used with good shocks to control bounce, can be very nice.

Look at the basic drop kits with springs and drop spindles. A 4/6 drop with a bolt in notch would be easy and somewhat cheap.
