Default Most Economical Way to Lower my truck

Notice how i did not use the word cheap... I don't want to feel like im riding on a honda civic with cut springs... I want to level and lower the truck about 3 inches.

Any ideas? Thanks Guys!

Best luck would be to either find a 2/5 drop kit or 3/5 drop kit. I bought the BellTech drop kit with Street Performance shocks and it is great for the drop ill be going lower soon

you could drop the rear probably 2.5-3" and be level. Buy a set of shackles.

I dont know alot about dropping trucks but I think you can remove the OL spring to get another inch

You can fab your own flip kit for next to nothing using trailer parts. Then watch the listings for a 2" drop spindles which show up occassionally for around $250 and cut your front coils and you can do a 3/5 for a little less than half what a kit will run.
