SS_bnoon_SS Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Here's the after. It doesn't look as dramatic in the picture as it does in real life, but of course online pictures never do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swchopper Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 LOOKS GOOD. I am doing the same thing to mine tomorrow night. I just hope I can get at least 1.6" out of the front. I know Ill want lower, but I just cant spend the dough right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Ill want lower, but I just cant spend the dough right now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I want mine lower still too, but this was just the first step. Phase II (if I ever go through with it) will be 2" blocks in the rear and 2" spindles in front to get the wheels right at the tops of the wheel openings.

SS_bnoon_SS Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Blocks??? are you sure about this??? Why would you wanna lift it back up You will need hangers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The rear end sits on top of the leaf springs. The blocks go between the axle and springs lowering the rear end of the truck. In a 4X4 off-road configuration the blocks would be used to raise the truck IF the axle is on the bottom side of the leaf springs. At this point though, it's purely speculation anyway of what's going to happen down the road. I want to go faster first, turn better second (sways, tires, and shocks) so more drop is going to have to wait a while. I've even taken a look at the newer C-notch four link air bag system that offers really good performance and up to 6" drop. 4 link's are sweet!

I would have sworn the axle was on top. Oops! I will need the flip kit. Thanks for the heads up on the front axle wear. I can still run the two inch spindles and raise the torsion bars back up to be a 3" drop, so that's still safe for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
