budget build

My advice,
Front
shave bumstops,
flip BJs, ( new ones with high grade bolts)
drop shocks,
reindex torsions,
(pie cut upper arms if needed to stop BJ binding)
17"-16" chevy wheel low pro rubber too
Rear
mono leafs, (sugg. bell tech)
drop shox (relocate the lower shock mount)
angled 3" block MAX,
consider bolt in c notch and air shocks especiallly if ya want to use the box at all.

I prolly missed a few things,

I've never used a bolt in C so maybe we can can get some feed back from the others on this.

thannks for the advise i dropped the front a lil more today shaved the stops to almost nothing.......its sits good....rides a lil rough but imma buy some after market stopes and new shocks ...then ill takle the back

I recomend the polyurethane stops. If you want a good ride in the front with lots of travel, I would flip the ball joints and throw in a set of spindles. I drove mine for the first time today with that setup and I will bottom out on the ground before I hit the stops. Awesome ride, with lots of travel.

thanks i got the poly bump stops they work great......waiting on spindles now

What did you shave the OE bumpstops with?

a hack saw and wd40....

Your truck looks like it sits pretty nice as it is. It sits a lot like mine,a little nose heavy. I'd like to bring the back end down about another inch. I have what are supposed to be 3" blocks,but they look more like 2" blocks.

Instead of using blocks,take your leaf springs and get them dearched,but keep all 4 leafs in the spring pack. WHen you reinstall them,you should gain like 3-4" of drop without needing blocks,and getting your stock leafs dearched will be way cheaper than buying the Belltech leafs,which are well over $200.

well written there crazeymikey with all the leafs still in your still legal and the chance of something breaking won't happen

I've got the bell tech mono leafs and I like em, they are very heavy dutythink I spent 400.00 plus shipping and taxes CDN

if you want another way to cut corners take a spare body part say a tail gate or door and cut it up for the pieces to shave the body, also ive heard if you go to the wreckers and buy trunk poppers they pop the doors fine, even just one works all you need is the drivers door and you can open the passengers door from the inside, i dont know if this information is of any help just thought id throw it out there seeing everyone else is talking about suspension
