For starters Chris had to bring the truck down to a respectable stance, to accomplish this Chris ordered 2-inch drop spindles to help bring it down. To finish bringing the front down respectably, a set of Firestone airbags were mounted up. Bringing the rear level on the ground with the front, a reverse triangulated 4-link by Alter images and a set of Firestone airbags would be utilized. With the ups and downs not taken care of, all four corners would be cushioned by bell-tech nitro drop shocks for added ride.

With all this suspension stuff on order and the truck just waiting to be dropped Chris took it upon himself and Craig Moses do go ahead and body drop this Nissan 3 ½-inches, but this is not any ordinary body drop, the rear frame section was completely custom built by using 3x3 square tubing. With help from Frank Martinez the front frame was Z'd to perfection so the truck would lay nice and flat. To get the truck up and down quickly Chris put electric valves with dual compressors and a nicely painted yellow air tank in the bed. Along with all this suspension work Chris and his buddies made sure to raise the gas tank up for dragging capabilities.
