    there's a couple different ways to do it. it depends on how much you are willing to spend and how smooth you want the ride to be. a cheap or pretty much free way to do it is to adjust the torsions and a ball joint flip. another way that'll cost you is some drop spindals or some lower control arms. i'd say just look through the website and check out some build threads

    If you think you will bag it @ some time in the future , go with dropped spindles ,as you will need later!
    I rode static dropped for 4 years: dropped front spindles,turned down torsions, 2'' dropped rear leafs & 2' angled blocks .
    This put it quite low , & the rear axle was hitting the frame ,so went ahead & did the rear notch earlier than I planned on! :cool:
