BEST LOWERING FOR THE MONEY

whats up like the site need some help to find out the cheepest way to lower my 87 b2000 as low as i can without bags for now. this is my first lowered truck lost my L's when i was 21 now 31 and still have the truck and the same down low dream! THANKS FOR THE HELP PIC IF YOU HAVE THEM IT WILL BE NICE!

pull the wheels off!

You can get the lift/lower blocks, they make a couple different widths so it depends on how low you're tryin to go those run 30-40. Then pull the spring packs off and put the overloads back on, pull the torsion bars out completely or you can re-index them. There is a thread on here explaining the process. You can flip the ball joints to help improve camber angle a little and get a little more lower. I will say pulling the torsion bars out completely puts more stress on the other suspension parts and can lead to premature wear, but thats how mine is and i know a lot of other people do it also.

I personally wouldn't pull the torsions competely out, they are what provide the front with it's suspension tension. If it were bagged then I'd be all for pulling them, but if you aren't bagged and you pull them you will be putting all suspension stress on your shocks alone and they aren't made for that. Or you would just be riding on bump stops unless those were removed as well. And if you're on factory tires with the torsion bars pulled you will most certainly hit tire on the inner fender... No bags and no torsion bars is a bad idea...

Okay do not take out leaf springs i do not care what anyone says and if they have run for years like that it is unsafe and dangerous remember one thing there are other people on the road and if some oen ends up hurt because something breaks in your truck and its because you did some thing like removing leafs just not right. You can go to any leaf spring shop and get your leafs de-arched the front is easy as written above just rememeber to cut out all the bump stops front and rear and get some real good drop shocks for it. There is alot of ways to do it cheap but cheap is not always best think of it this way your truck is your baby and an extention of yourself when you start customizing it. I know we want to have a low ride and a custom ride but do it right and safe make it something your proud of not something cheap that might get some one hurt.

Based on the load rating for these trucks and how much they weigh pulling leaves wouldn't pose a problem, as long as your not haulin anything. Personally I don't have a problem with it but i'm just throwin out ideas, definitely don't just leave the main spring though cuz you'll start to have axle wrap and that will cause it to break. OP You can look through the pictures or threads of static dropped trucks and see how they are setup this way.
