we really need to meet up. i wanna see your truck i love the way it sits. how did you lower your
I've got 3" DJM LCA and 2" Belltech spindle with a torsion crank and in the back I put a DJM Flip kit and 2" shackle. C-notched it and put drop shocks up front from Godfather Customs and air shocks in the back. My truck has always had a little bit of a rake cause the shocks bottom out when aired out. I am fixing to get me some air shocks for a 89 Ford Aerostar and install them in the back with a narrowed rear end and possibly new wheels.
I havent driven it more than 10 miles this year so I have no pics this year.
Here are some from last year........

ive got a Speed Inc SC2 cam 224/232 581/595 114
Still in the box. $275 shipped
-
yea i would love to see a 4/4
My little bros VMax is 4/6 and still wants a little lower. (I told him so)
I cant find the pics of his own wheels w/ 275/40/20

The class my cousin took in Austin was a HpTuner class. Lets look into it Mike and maybe we can both go. I am gonna see if they ever come up our way.

As soon as Eddie pulled the TBTC out he went back to being happy. Your not as PISSED as he was either. He actually put his up for sale. His 5.3 with 10 or 12 # of boost went 12.79 and 12.80 back to back then when he put the TBTC 2.0 60ft times and 13.5-13.7 is all he could run. He changed tunes like crazy just like your doing. He even tried speed density tunes and multiple trips to San Antonio to get tuned IN PERSON by Allen Nelson. His was not in the tune, it was the TBTC.

There's my cousin Eddies Topics..........the 3-4th page is when he first got the TB stall installed

Small change in dates guys...we are headed up on Sunday instead. Again, gates open at 8am racing starts at 9am. Im shooting to be there around 9-ish
I'll text you later tonight. I think Joel might take his SS too. I met the kid with the new SS here in town. It's lowered and has an exhaust. He's only 16

Mine gets about 400 miles a year. Wash it anytime it leaves the garage. It has 15k miles cause the first year I bought it, I drove it to TX and back then CA and back.
My black 2000 has less than 40k miles but my daily driven silverado has 206K miles

damn thats awsome. wander what i would run i have the same mods but my tm is open more.
Come down to Spokane Raceway Park on May 2nd and lets find out. My little brothers Vortec Max has the same mods as me minus the pulley and he went 13.86 on my 28" drag tires. I got a couple pairs of slicks you can borrow. Im trying for 12s on May 2nd.
-
I want to, wish I knew someone I could just borrow a pair from for a pass or two. I'm gonna buy me a track day setup (wheels and tires) but I'm not gonna drop that coin yet, just bought a TVS1900 and going pick up a 4L80E on Friday so I'm kinda taped out for cash for a while.
How far are you from Houston? Im on my phone and it will take a while to search. I got a pair of 26x11.5x16 ET STREETS and a pair of 28x9.5x15 ET DRAGS that I can have my cousin (truck driver) drop off at his place in Houston and you are more than welcome to use them. I know its a long shot but if my cousin comes up here soon (usually twice a month) I will send them. If Houston is too far well it might not be worth it then
-
Damn that is quick..........you have plans to run a sticky tire?
-

The only control arm available IIRC is a 3" by DJM. It can be combined with spindles for a 5" drop or maybe if you raise your torsions some it will be at a 4" like you're looking for. Ride is comfortable but my alignment is -1 at a 6" drop.
-
i suppose that drop wouldn't work for a AWD ss would it?
I doubt it.......a good friend of mine has a 3/6 on a awd SSS

Long time lurker here. I've got a 2WD 07 Classic Crew Cab that came with VHO rims & torsion bar front suspension. I'm going to lower it with McGaughy's parts. I've already got the keys & shackles installed & the rear blocks removed. I'm going to install spindles & a flip kit/c-notch pretty soon. I'm wanting to know if anyone on here has successfully lowered a torsion bar suspension 4/6 & not had a crappy ride quality. I put smaller tires(275/45/20) on so I won't have any rubbing issues.
Honestly, the truck rides like crap right now. I hate to drive it. I hit a bump & it's like dribbling a basketball. I cut the jouncers up front so that only one nub sticks out from the cup & it sits on the lower control arm at ride height. I also cut the rear bump stops, I think I cut 2 nubs off of them.
Any tips or hints? Are pinion shims going to be needed? Will I have any alignment problems? Will the driveshaft need to be shortened?
Pics of any SS or VHO's with a 4/6 would be much appreciated.
I am not sure what you mean by successfully lowered without a crappy ride. I have done 2 of them(torsion equipped) and they ride decent but not stock at all. My truck rides better at a 6/8 drop than it did at a 2/4 with Belltech leafs out back. Many of the non torsion equipped 4/6 drops Ive done ride about the same as these.
As far as tips and hints........the 14 bolt rear hits the bed crossmember before anything else bottoms out in the back. Neither of the 2 trucks had to have pinion shims but my little brother's at a 4/6 vibrates a little at full throttle(driveshaft?) Alignment is a problem for me at my drop as it will not fully align but my brother's 4/6 aligned just fine. The driveshaft wasnt shortened on either of the 2 trucks.
On to the pics.........
Here's my little bro's 06 Vortec Max
3" DJM control arms and drop keys up front with a flip kit in the back
Wearing his winter wheels
Mine has 2" belltech spindles, 3" DJM arms and keys up front and a DJM flip kit with shackles out back.
These are all early last year with my cell phone. I need to get new pics with the BSER rollpan.

One day I'll be that low

hey out2win you want a factory set of chrome 20's with brand new dunlops on them for those?
Thanks for the interest but I still have the factory 20s also.
-
How much do these weigh? OUT2WIN, could you throw one on a scale, pleeeaase.
When I had my 305/40/22 they wieghed in at 95lbs. I will go out and weigh my stock 20s on the same scale this afternoon and see what the difference is between the 2. (just in case my scale is a little off)
My KMC SS 22x9.5 with 285/35/22 that I have on my 2000 dont feel much lighter than my Replica 22s on the 285/35/22.
-
Good choice. You wont be dissapointed.
-
14.71 before tune
14.39 after tune
-
Send me a PM and let me know where your from. I have an extra set with 305/45/22 that I am willing to sale.
-
15k on mine and its been to Texas and back to WA (about 5,000 round trip)and then CA and back (~2800 round trip)
-
This is just a comparison when I first got my 22s with a 305/40/22 and stocks up front. This was before my drop and the 285/35/22. Staggered wheels with a 6" lip in the back is next. I am having trouble finding someone close by to shorten the rear axle though.

I have mine and last year had to fingerprint. The company I work for picked up all the expense. I drove a little over 100 miles to get the fingerprints done but did it on company time and company car
BTW-I think I had to send in an application and within 10 days they replied and gave me the OK to fingerprint. I cant remember if another drug test was in the mix.
