Hi all!

I'm a new member picking up a 1956 GMC 1/2 ton this weekend as a trade for a car I'm selling, and I'm in need of some advice for the best/easiest/safest way to lower the truck a few inches. I've been searching and reading on the forum, but I can't seem to make up my mind on which way to go.

I'm leaning towards a monoleaf lowering kit like this (http://www.performanceonline.com/19...it-Stage-1-Mono-Leaf-Springs-and-Shocks/), which offers a 3" drop in the front and a choice of 4" or 6" drop in the rear. I want the truck low but not slammed, and I want it to sit about level to the ground (no rake).

Would a 4" drop get me level to the ground, or do I need to go as low as a 6" drop?


Thanks in advance,
Espen (Trondheim, Norway)
