There are several ways to lower your truck, depending on what you want and how you plan to use your truck. My favorites, in order, are Aerostar, Jaguar, and Volare'. Part of my decision comes from ease of installation and an equal part of being cheap. These are available from my favorite junkyards. The Chrysler would not be able to use airbags because of the torsion bars.
If I had the money, a Mustang II from Fatman or TCI or a Dakota kit from Industrial Chassis.
My son's 63 has the Volare' IFS cranked up quite a bit and his front bumper is 8" off the ground. The IFS could have been welded in higher or lower according to taste. Having trouble including a photo. Look in my album to see his truck.

has anybody ever installed/seen a 4 link on a straight axle? I'm considering the possibility of going that route. Also wondering if it would be possible to install the links in front of the axle.... If I was able to install in front, I could possibly triangulate it and keep it "simple".

Also, I was wondering about your takes on ladderbar positioning systems. Just using ladderbars and bags...
I know the axle angles change to some degree when using a ladder bar, but I know they are "relatively popular" especially within the rat rod crowds. But I also know that the rat rod people do some stupid stuff, solely because it looks cool, but not safe.

I think most likely I'll weld up some tri4links out of square tubing or something. I can't see spending $400 on fancy ones.
