    as far as dropping your truck and bad roads, they are everywhere. you just have to learn how to drive them. if you pay a litle more on any drop kit you usually get a more ride friendly kit, example: my friend bought a drop kit for around 1200 dollars rides better than a caddy. for the same drop without the extras prolly would have been around 400 or so. but it would have road like shit...theres always a price to looking good Very Happy

    well don't scare him away from the drop...from what you said it sounds like unless you spend 1200 bucks on a drop kit it will ride like ass, which isn't necessarily true. my silverado was lowered 3/3 when i bought it...it has 3" lowering coils, 3" lowered leaf springs, and nitro drop shocks, all together that would be around 500 bucks i'm guessing, and it still rides pretty good.

    but yea bad roads are everywhere you just gotta be more careful.

    just do your research...join a dodge forum and see what everyone else is running for lowering components and go from there. and always be sure to ask questions. whichever route you choose, everyone here is supportive...we really just like anything custom

    I bought spindles and blocks for my drop i just did. only spent $185. Rides great, my only problem is i havent cut the bumpstops off so they smack the axle on decent sized bumps. never wanted an s10, but now that im getting more into doing shit. i appreciate the lower price on s10 parts lol

    im not just talking about a 3/3 drop, im talking about slamming it. and i wasent just talking about the parts to drop it costing 1200, i meant the rest of the suspension as well. All the parts up front determine how ruff it rides and how well it handles bumps, dips, cracks, animals, holes, swerving and handleing. you get what you pay for....
