Exclamation How to get lower...

I have a 98 Nissan Frontier. I have lowered the front end about 6 inches already and now I'm working on the back. I put 3 inch lowering blocks and drop shocks in the rear. The drop shocks were suppose to drop it about 6 inches with the blocks, but it only dropped it about 4 inches. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to drop it in the back a little more. It's my first truck and want it as low as the frame will let it. No bs either, just suggestions....

PM me or just post...

I thought about that. Who is a good shop to trust? I use to go to a guy named kevin at north tampa customs but he out of the game. Is that the only way? Can I double blocks?

I didn't think you could. Has anyone lowered a truck?

Ghetto green metalflake spraybomb.

I lowered a Ranger before, just used a spring over on the rear and dropped I-beams in the front. Slightly different animal though.

Ok now I will only type this out once, because Im lazy.

4" angled lowering block
middle leaf removed(leaves short and long leafs only)
front hangers re-drilled - google it
your lowering shocks might not handle being that low, pinto shocks bolt in.

That will get you low enough to sit almost flat on 18s or tuck on a 195/55/15.

Perfect. Thanks for the heads up. The fronts can handle it but not the back. I will google it right now. Burgy, I will look them up 2morrow and see what prices they can throw at me.
