What year truck do you have ?
2 or 4 wheel drive ?
How low do you want go ?
What size wheel/tire are you wanting to run ?
How much work do you want to do ?
How much money you got ?

I've lowered mine using A ground force kit, 2/3 @ around 600.00.
It lowered mine 2" ft 3.5" rr.
There are outher kits out there, just look around.
DJM makes a nice one also, a little more work to install.
Beind a 4wd your limited to how low you can go.
I like my kit, the ride & handling is better then stock.
Take a look at my gallery.

Check out a Truckin mag. There are a couple of kits out there for 4x4. The lowest I have seen is a 4/6 drop. Thought about it on mine too. Fronts aren't that bad, it would be the rear that would be interesting to do.

I'm just curious here...why would you want to lower a 4wd truck?? Aren't you defeating the purpose???
