How do you perform a custom body drop on a 1989 c1500 pickup?

Answer 1

There are multiple options when it comes to body dropping your truck. One method involves boxing the frame rails under the cab (where it is a c shaped channel) while trimming off the top of the c to gain some clearance to lower the body. The front of the frame rails also has to be lowered to bring the front two body mounts down into alignment with the new lower location of the cab in relation to the frame rails. The body drop is the single most difficult modification you can make to a custom vehicle, in my opinion. There is much that goes into it that can't be easily described here. Before attempting such a difficult modification I would recommend doing extensive research and planning.
