slimsoftball Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Lowered the truck a tad. I got about 2" all the way around. I shackles in the rear and BellTech keys in the front with a turn or two. It is nothing drastic, just enough to fill up the wheel wells a little. Ride is about the same as far as I can tell. Going to do some sway bars in the near future. Once I got a floor jack that worked, it only took me about an hour and a half total. Got it aligned today and am good to go. I thought about not posting pics for a few days to keep with the current theme of pic teasing on the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimsoftball Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Thanks! I think it looks pretty good, and it was one of the easiest mods I have done. Cheap too, including the pinion shims I bought and ended up not needing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdss Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Do you have any vibrations? Usually with just a shackle and shim you have some around 45 to 75 give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsoftball Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I have no vibrations at all. I tested it all the way to about 120 I bought 4deg shims and ended up not needing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read other threads in the forum that call for torrsion bar turning and removal of the bump stops. I am very interested in what exactly you did.

budhayes3 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 That looks great, I'm planning to go the same route with mine eventually. I'm thinking of Belltech lowering keys in the front and shackles in the rear, along with removing the 2" lift blocks that came on mine from the factory. It shoud work out to be around a 3/4 which I'm hoping will look nice with some Gibbs 20's and Toyo Proxes 285/50R 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
