    wanting to lower my 87 r1500

    i have been looking at a lot of threads about lowering 4/6. but how hard is it to do air baggs on a 87 gmc r1500 2wd? i really like the look and ive heard it is a much nicer ride. if i did do baggs i would want to lay frame. i have 18x9's on the front and 18x11's on the rear.

    500hp 350 carbureted and 700r4

    if i had a 454 what would be the best set up? like engine/tranny/rear end... but like i said i need it to handle itself on the highway for trips. and its not going to be used for any real towing. maybe pulling my jet ski or four wheelers around town.

    wanting to lower my 87 r1500

    Thanks. I have found a few different kits. But some have more parts some have less. Not sure which one to go with. I put a 454 4bolt main in it last week. So the added weight made the front end sag. Will a lowering kit with new shocks/springs help much?
