Lowering Question..

[ttrabue]

So I decided to lower my truck and I have a few questions. First of all it is a '03 AWD and I dropped it to about 32 inches at the center of the fender wells.. Am I going to run into any problems here? Is it too low? I sure am hoping it isn't too low because it looks sooo good right now.. But any tips would be appreciated, thanks a ton.

how did you lower it?

[ttrabue]

Shackles and hangers in the back and 2' drop spindles in the front, and turned down the torsion bar a few turns to even it out.. I am not worried about a rough ride because I don't drive it that much.. But I am just worried if it will mess anything up in the front end being that low.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could probably put the bushing on the cab part of the truck but want about the bed, there is no bushing between the bed and the frame mounts.

hi tim

take the truck out and see how it drives. when you lower the front of these trucks 3 inches you start to put the cv axles in a bind, and if you hit a good bump or pot hole you could brake your cv axle. mostlikly you only have about 2.5 inches of drop which is better. that is the only thing up front that you need to worrie about. the rest will be fine.

thank you tim
