I would like to affordably lower my 1989 c1500 standard cab 2WD a reasonable amount, but I'm unsure of the best way to do so. Everybody talks about lowering kits, but they all seem a bit expensive for my budget. 4/6 drop would be ideal and I'd like to stiffen it up a bit for better highway handling. Is there any way I can cheaply do this at home and just buy new shocks or is it best to just pay for a kit?
