Lowering A Max

What would be the quickest way to get a couple of inches of drop out of my truck thanks  

cut coils in the front or drop spindles and removing a leaf with blocks.  

I would have said "let the air out of the tires",
but John nailed. it.  

Front: Remove coil 'rotations' from the stock coils by CUTTING (no torches)
Cutting wheels, Reciprocating saw blades, etc.
(heating will anneal the metal, and the coil will 'loose it's spring'!)
*** Rule of thumb = 1 FULL rotation is equal to ONE inch (1.5" max) ***
The total amount of 'drop' will depend on how many rots. are removed.
Also, always cut from the TOP!
This will guarantee that the bottoms are still 'factory flat'.
That's done to make SURE that the springs will fit flat in the pockets
when they are re-installed into the truck.

Rear:  Removing leaf springs will lower the truck since the less 'help'
the suspension has, the more the truck will 'squat'.
By removing the springs, and keeping ONE (called a 'mono' setup)
You'll see about 3-5" of drop) *Depending on the 'life' of the leaf.
(I used to ONLY run the 'main leaf (with the bolt-eyelets on each end)
The rear of my Max sat LOW (I also used a 3" block)

If you lower the truck, and still want to use it for a 'truck',
it's also a KILLER idea to run 'air shocks' in the rear.
This will allow you to swap them in, then fill them to 'adjust' the rear height
and load handling rate.  Monroe and Gabrial both make great setups.

If you decide to go that route, either set can be found anywhere from 50-80 bucks
online, or at any auto parts store that carries those brands.

They will have to be ordered for a Nissan 'Hardbody' or fullsize Chevy.
That's what we've done in the past (before bagging) and it works GREAT!

Hope that helps!
