I've been searching for hours and I can't find anything on how to lower my truck 2 inches front and rear, anyone on here that can point me in the right direction? It's an 85 k20 with a 350

As far as I know, they dont make any lowering kits for 4x4s.

Does it have a lift kit?

If it does for example, if you have a 6in lift and you want to go lower you need to get a 4in lift effectively lowering the truck 2in.

Nope, stock height. I'll just keep it like it is then. Was just hoping there was something.

You COULD take springs out of the pack, like the bottom "overload" spring, for example... That WILL lower it - plus the cost is.....nothing? Got that much to spend?

2wd hangers will make it lower. 1/2 ton springs will make it lower. There are many ways to go about it, but you are not likely to find an "off the shelf kit" to do it - i've never heard of one. You're gonna have to make it up as you go.


If it were me, i'd remove the overload springs and get that fast inch. The bottom most spring...Then I would spend time considering 2wd or 1/2 ton hangers. I'm pretty sure they sit higher (lower). Shackles?
Are drop shackles not an option?

The spring length and width are important to consider, regarding. Probably not so much length, but some are different widths and those hangers would NOT be interchangeable..

This will require new shocks?
Check u-joint and drive line angles, or whatever. (Safety first!)

Mind you , it probably is different heights front to back. (Lower in the rear.)
