As it says in the title, this is what I'm wanting to do eventually. Replacing/upgrading the shocks as well to cope with the lowered stance as well as front/rear sway bars. If I'm thinking of everything just for lowering, this should include...

Front:
Drop Spindles
Lowering Springs
Lowering Shocks

Rear:
Drop Shackles
Lowering Leaf Springs
Lowering Shocks

Where online does one go to buys this stuff? Also, what kind of good shops are out there to do this kind of work at decent prices with no BS?

Thanks!

just search, I bought my spindles from someone on here for $50(you will pay about $250 because they are dif. than the 83-97), rear leafs(make sure they are for a 2dr) from a guy on s10forum for $80 and blocks from advance auto for $20. I still need drop shocks but it handles great.
try stylintrucks.com, ebay.com, djmsuspention.com, streetbeatcustoms.com, etc.

Well I've been looking on stylintrucks.com for a little bit here and it looks like I can get to a 3" drop pretty cheap. From what I gather, I can just buy 3" BellTech lowering springs for the front, 3" BellTech lowering blocks for the rear (keeping the stock springs) and Belltech Nitro Drop 2 shocks all the way around. That's just $370 for a 3" drop!

Am I right about this setup?

Also, I still can't seem to find anything about anti-sway bars...

they sway bars will be almost parallel to the truck with it lowered 3". you will have to either get shorter endlinks or use regular bolts.
$370 for 3" with shocks aint bad. but dont forget to get an alighnment done right after you drop it otherways you will have bad alighnment issues along with wear through tires QUICK.
