    Alright so I'm on 4 inch blocks in the rear with lowering leaf springs and in the front I'm on lower control arms and lowering spindles is there any other way I can go lower?

    looks good...you could always loosen the torsion bars to gain a few inches of drop.

    what size tire are you running?

    There's a few ways!

    1) Either cut down your bump stops or replace the LCA bump stops.
    2) Torsion bars
    3) BAGS!!!

    Trust me when I say this but be careful how low that front end gets cause you'll drag the LCA and front cross member on EVERYTHING!! Im sittin at about a 6-7 drop and it's hard to drive anywhere! When you hit small bump or transitions on the highways it's like hitting a brick wall on the front end!

    Can you do the ball joint flip on a 91? That's worth close to another inch in the front.

    Also strongly agree with Creetin's statement above. I'm also at a 6/7 drop with the stock wheels and have to be very careful where I drive. Luckily it's a commuter and my drive is 3 miles. Even uneven lanes on a 2 way street can get dangerous. Any desire to go any lower I'd recommend bagging it.

    BJ flip and torsions up front.

    Shorter shackles? Shorter shocks if youre on the stocks. Bigger block. Not much more that can be done without heavier modifications

    Yup the next step out back is Frenched front hanger and slider boxes in place of the shackles.

    A really, really heavy girlfriend. It may be hard to get her in the cab, but depending on weight, she'll be good for 2 inch drop and you can make her get out and walk on rough roads, giving you the clearance to not hit the crossmember. I believe its called the "People Of Walmart" Drop. :p
