no problem so i done some lookin at the front end and some measuring of my truck and a 2 wheel drive dually at the shop seems like the way i would drop the back is the block on the leafspring and measure to get new u bolts if u want it way down and run some 28 inch slicks or smaller then that id put the springs under the axle if u wanna go way down. then id be watchin ur driveshaft becuase it may need shortened. on the front end ur gonna have to get 2wd coil springs after u put the coil springs on u may want custom fit control arms to bring ur wheels back. ur front driveshaft may need shortened too. all the bars and stuff should be the same but may not also where ur hub assembly is or both ball joints are u may be able to put the hub under where it hooks up may give u an extra inch down but idk how the would work out. ull aslo have to get new shocks so id plan alot on this project so u wont be short on parts or cash

Alright. So in drag racing there are two things that can always use improving: traction and aerodynamics. The 4wd helps the truck to keep traction and get power to the ground, and lowering helps out the aerodynamics. Makes perfect sense to me. No, I wouldnt have only one truck and it be lowered, but if I had two or three (which the OP has already stated he has), I wouldnt mine slamming one to the ground
