I lowered my 88 d150 with parts from them.
drop shackles and spring hangers in back.
lowering springs in front.
plus front and rear swaybars.

I am thinking around the 2/4. from the measurments I have taken I am thinking that leveling the rear with the front would give me the look I am going afterfor 20-22's. I dont want lower it so much that it drags frame. I need to keep it usable as this is our "shop truck" for our race team.I do/will drive this truck almost everyday.It will pull trailers and haul everything and anything I can put in the bed.
thanks for help.

I would consider adding airbags to help support loads and towing.

I plan on using my truck as a dd and a shop truck too, but I still plan on bagging it, and I plan on bagging my trailer so that I can drop both. But then again, my trailer and truck will be used as a promotional tool aswell(car shows and such).
