    I would love some suggestions but I was planning on using an angle grinder and cutoff wheel. I still need to watch some videos. I've also heard that people recommend welding supports while the cut is being made. Are there alternatives to this?

    Helper bags are basically air bags that you inflate and deflate manually right? My dads f250 has a set. Do they make low profile ones for low trucks? Great advice, Thank you all!

    Well this is some good information, I'm glad I thought to ask over here. Reddit is great for some things but its the same on the corvette subeddit, the forum is the way to go. I definitely agree that most of the hardware on this truck appears to be original, and what you say about the leaf...

    Hey people, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I'm looking to improve the ride quality of my lowered 1988 C1500. The truck isn't in the best shape but I think this is the best place to start fixing it up. Relevant pictures are attached below. The ride height in the picture is the...
