take your coil springs and leaf springs out and weld your axle to the bed. The will get it low.

Well you gotta pay to play man, there is really no cheap way around it.. not to mention most of the time the lower you wanna go the more $$... so I think a better question is how low?

2" rear shackles ($40-50)

Other than that your gonna have to spend money... less you wanna cut your coil springs or something

Why don't you give us more information? I'm no mind reader. I unfortunately know tons about static drops and have experience with pretty much every static drop component they make.

How much are you looking to spend?
How low do you want to go?
Do you want to keep a stock ride?
What size are your tires and are you willing to change them?
