I have noticed that nobody seems to sell or use 5" Front and 7" Rear lowering kits for 73-87 Chevy/GMC 1/2 Ton anymore. I see 5-5, but no 5-7. It seems to me that lowering the truck the same front and back would only create a raked look. On some vehicles this works in my opinion, but not on these trucks.

If someone reads this and has lowered their 73-87 truck, please tell me how you did it and if possible include a pic PLEASE!

I don't want to buy a kit only to be dissatisfied with it!
