easy truck lowering
 

sorry if this is in the wrong thread but I want my grand that I'm building to sit super low show truck style and am wondering if theres simple ways to do it without any crazy custom fab. Ive read about flipping the body mounts and the front axle.(which I think is putting the springs under instead of on top) but cant find much on it. Also what about the rear?
thanks guys

rc4wd lo pro tires will get you closer to earth... as for the rears, not sure there's too much you can do with the stock leaf springs, true scale air ride will help there. but remember if you too low, hooking up to a stock trailer might be tough. also, go too low and tile grout lines become a hazard.. lol

How much difference is there between stock leaves and the true scale air ride height wise?

Also if your looking for the front end lower to the ground another option is remove the shackles on ether end of the front springs and relocate the springs to the hight you need along with using LP tyres and removing the front shocks, but that means the front end will be rigid.
