Diaz, laying frame with a 73-87 is not as easy as it seems, The lower control arms are going to hit the ground way before anything else. Even on a static drop the crossmember is so low that the lower carms are hitting the road at every bump. I have stripped the entire front of one of these and built an entire new suspension for it up there and that got the job done, that also took me about 350 hours of fab work. I just ran across a product by a company calledPorterbuilt Street Rods, the product is called dropmember, it is a replacement crossmember that essentialy does everything That I did in 350 hours in about 40. partner the crossmember with a KP six link in the rear and your truck will be as low as you want it.... Til you decide that it has to be bodydropped.
