What would it take to lower a 90 c1500 2/4 and improve ride quality?

[Moorekennels]

Hello everyone,

I have a 90 c1500 that I would like to lower 2/4 or 3/5. The truck is my daily driver so I would also like to improve the quality of the ride if possible. Any suggestions that may be helpful in doing so? ......The truck already has shackles to level it out.

Some good shocks (B/T Street Performers) & a rear sway bar. I used one off of a C1500 Suburban.
A 5" rear drop is a near impossible amount to drop these trucks. 4" or 6" is the basic standard.

Why not a flip kit and lift shackles? Doesnt seem impossible.

Would still require a frame notch.
If I'm going to do that, might as well go for the 6" drop.

If you're after ride quality, those big heavy rims with low profile tires are not helping your cause any.

So, so far i have found that rubber bushing and stock springs with monroe or equivalent shocks ride the best. Im currently in the process of a 2/3 on my ecsb. Ill ne keeping 15s, but trying the belltech shocks cause i got a stupid deal on them from a friend.

My 5/7 truck is all poly and stiffer springs and bilstein shocks and 18s. Its not a horrible ride, but it definitely ain't a caddy.

I did the belltech 2/4 drop, it is ALOT of work in the back for the front hangers but overall I like it!
