Look you threw a bunch of money at your truck and someone do the work and they didn't even section the body right.
His truck is body dropped not sectioned.

No the 74 I have will not be used for hauling I have a couple of idea's in mind and it won't be using any truck suspension parts at all.I am getting a 75 F100 Ford Explorer next month as my DD.So my 74 will not be stock when I'm finished with it. SuperSnake will start in Jan as a project.
Well, what I described worked for me. It may not be the right way, but it was cost effective.
I need to try to find some pics and scan them. That was back before digital cameras.
Look you threw a bunch of money at your truck and someone do the work and they didn't even section the body right. You say that you was telling me the proper way to lower my truck which is to spend and to throw money at it. All the Kustom car guys and Old School Hot Rodders would laugh at you tried to pay someone to do. If you think supporting a business by spending all your money there is the right way you are a bigger azz than I am. I can do more with parts from a pull a part yard than you can trying to fight your way out of a wet brown paper bag. So who is smarter with money? Not you,You have no imagination or the ability to do anything on your own. So Go Away Boy You bother me. BTW your Donkey Kong wheeled truck ain't that Kool .

There is a guy on one of the other sites a few years back that dropped the front of his truck 3-4 inches using the stock beams, I think he cut the coils to get the drop, then took his truck to a shop that does big rig alignment and had the beams bent to correct the camber. Will only work if you have the connections to get the beams bent, and I also don't think he would have any suspension travel left after the drop. Ride has to be seriously compromised as well, and caster angles would be off since the radius arm angles are changed. But... if you are dead set on lowering it and not spending the coin to do it right, you can go ahead and give it a shot, and after you are done, you can check out the kits offered by the overpriced mail order parts shop (who have the cheapest prices on DJM kit that I could find anywhere) to get the correct parts to drop the truck the right way and still have it ride like stock...
Oh, and DJM also makes a rear flip kit that will drop the rear about 5 inches. It is also available from the same overpriced mail order shop for about $50, and it will take you about an hour to install (if you take your time...).
Truce taken and lets take a fresh start.Accept my Apologies
Just out of curiosity how did you figure my body drop was done wrong???? Do you have experience channeling a truck? I have to know
yeah but what is wrong with it
I hope and pray that you do not cateroragize my truck with mini trucks much less that one that looks like a pile of crap MY TRUCK IS A FULL SIZE TRUCK NOT A MINI TRUCK>>>>>>>
