Lowering a 97 Sierra

97SierraStepSde · 11-19-2006, 01:18 PM

Hey everyone, I have a little bit of a problem. I have a 97 Sierra Stepside that I plan on lowering soon. I have 20's on it with 275/55/20's on it, so its not a huge monster tire or anything and Im not gonna do a huge drop or anything. I was planning on 2" in the rear and 1" front coil spring. With the rear tho, if I do shackles do I need to buy both the shackle AND hanger, or can I only buy either or? [plus the shocks that are required]
Or, would it be easier and more affordable to just relocate the leafspring under the axle? Give me some input if you have any, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
