This product is typically a collection of components designed to lower the rear suspension of a 1988-1998 Chevrolet or GMC C1500 pickup truck by 5 inches in the front and 7 inches in the rear. This modification alters the vehicle’s stance, bringing it closer to the ground. As an example, such a kit might include drop spindles for the front and lowering springs or a flip kit for the rear axle.
The appeal of such alterations lies in achieving an enhanced aesthetic, improved handling characteristics, and easier vehicle ingress and egress. Historically, lowering vehicles has been a common practice within automotive customization circles, driven by a desire for a more streamlined appearance and improved aerodynamic performance. These kits provide a relatively straightforward method for achieving these results.
