yttaf Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Most either use Belltech spindles, or McGaughys spindles & have the option of Belltech rear leaf springs or shackles & hangers depending on how low you want to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1fan Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thinking of maybe a 2/2 or a 2/3 drop. Nothin too drastic. Needs to stand out a bit from the others if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Most popular way to achieve a 2/3 drop is belltech spindles, and belltech drop leaf packs. But it would be more of a 4" drop in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haul@ss Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have heard of a lot of people who dropped 2/2 and wanted more in the rear. Here's some pix of my truck from last year... My has it changed haha These first 2 pics are of when i just got it droppeed with leafsprings and spindles, no torsion turning plus uneven balding of tires haha: Now with a bit of turning of the torsions but just rotated tires so fronts are balder than rear: If you have any questions, get at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerrider Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I was looking into a drop. Just make sure you read the posts on drop kits and big brakes if that might be a future mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1fan Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have heard of a lot of people who dropped 2/2 and wanted more in the rear. The stance of your truck is perfect. I'm considering a little less than that as I still need to be able to tow 14" enclosed motorcycle trailer. I don't want any surpises when it come time to tow that pig.

NTMD8R_SS Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 You will need helper bags also if you are planning to tow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
