Need some help, wanting to go lower then my current 3/5.5

I have found a few threads talking about doing 5/7. But no one has done it or i havent found a thread yet.. I really just want another inch all the way around. Dont think i will need the notch with another 1" out back. I have plenty of travel.

I have fabbed up my fair share of goodies for hotrods.


I guess i can do 1 of 2 things for the lower link bars.

A: Weld tabs to bottom of current mounting points on axle and lower the mounting point of the bars

or

B: Fab up my own lower bars with a 45 angle to dip down, some weld in bungs for adjustable poly bushing ends. . Do some bungs and adjustable rod ends on the upper links too and save myself alot of cash vs buying aftermarket links and modifying them.

Are the factory 4 link bars hollow or solid?.

Any of this sound good?

Truck is on a belltech 2/4 drop with shorter rear sway bar links and track bar bracket. i have cut the springs down 1/2 coil up front and 1.5 coils in rear and got a 3/5.5 drop out of the truck and its level.

I want another inch all the way around. I know a 1/2 coil upfront with adjustable offset balljoints will get that where I need it. Maybe some thinner iso's as well.

But out back, the lower link bars already look extremely close to hitting the mount of the upper link bars. I dont think thew adjustable link bars will help this any .I see on guys doin 4/6 and 5/7 on these trucks.

How is that possible without a custom bent lower link bar?
Is there another way?

Do they make them with a bend or something?

I know i will need the adjustable track bar, if i go lower.
