I need (yes, need) to get some new wheels, and I want to drop it at the same time. Im not lookin for all out performance (at all). I just want a cheap, effective way to lower this monster truck. I don't really want coil over, adjustible this and that. I just want it lower. Shocks, struts, and springs, and CC plates are all im lookin to buy. Also, is it possible to use OE shocks and struts? Like I said, performance is taking a back seat right now.

Can anybody guide me in the right direction?

How much of a drop are you looking for?

My buddy has Steeda sport springs with Hotchkis UCA/LCA and stock shocks struts...car has a real nice stance and rides pretty darn well.

An inch or more would be nice. I just want to get rid of the wheel gap.

I was considering the BBK springs. Ive heard they are really good and they drop a little more then an inch.

Check out my sig. I think I would have been pissed if my car wasn't as low as it is right now. You could just chop off a coil on you spring to make it work. Just make sure that where you cut it, is the same stop as to where it originally sat. I've heard and SEEN people do it. I would have gone that route but I had already purchased my springs.

You got pics of your car? How about videos or sound clips? I want to hear those Dynomax mufflers.
