I’ve heard different ways to lower a 4wd, rear suspension seems easy but front suspension is tricky.

Anyone have any advice?

Not sure how low you want to go. Lowering your torsion bars is about the only way I could think without getting really creative.

Buy a C3500. LOL!

In all seriousness, I did not see anything for 4x4 trucks. I agree, lower the torsion bars, could do a flip in the rear.

If you want to go really low, I'm sure someone would trade you a 2wd. Unless you're attached to it.

Not sure how low the OP is looking to go, but I’ve got the same question. I’m looking to buy a K3500 crew cab, but would like to bring it down with a 2”/4” drop. I saw the Project Red Tide episode: the did a 4/6 with an axle flip and C-notched frame. I still want to be able to tow, so that’s too low for me. Dropping the rear 4” is easy; how do I get the front down 2” on a K series?

Only 2"? Probably just adjust the pre-load on the torsion bars.
