My cheap lowering "kit"
Couldn't bring myself to pay a ton if money for how little I wanted to lower my truck. I decided to cine up with a way to do it cheaply. Front struts flipped to under the a-arms and 2" shack with removed blocks in the rear. Spent $14 on grade 8 bolts, nuts and washers for the front and about $60 for the shackles and spacers for the u bolts.

I live in a pothole.... New Orleans. The roads are awful here. I understand the concern though. The kit from rough country does the exact same thing and figured why not. Driving on it for about 6 mos. now without problem. I consistently check the bolts and haven’t had an issue with stretch but, usually a grade 8 will just snap before stretching.

I considered doing this on my 07 CC truck but didn't feel comfortable with the whole front end of the truck relying on those 4 bolts to keep it from catastrophe lol. I opted for the bell tech struts. They worked out great.
If you drive one like this around Louisiana, you have bigger ***** than I
