ssBLACKEDOUTss Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Id like to drop the SS, to a nice ride height, but not to compromise the ride quality. Any suggestions on how much to drop and where to score the kit??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericdunivan Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Id like to drop the SS, to a nice ride height, but not to compromise the ride quality. Any suggestions on how much to drop and where to score the kit??? http://www.supertruckusa.com/products/76105_310.htm Here's a link to what I have, I think it was 2 inch drop all the way around. Trim the snubblers down and it rides great. You need to borrow / rent a Torsion bar key tool to do it and the rear drop shackles are kind of a pain other then that, pretty simple.

Bouch252 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I went with a Beltech 2/2 drop. Shackles in back and spindles in the front. Gives it a aggressive look and still rides great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isidroarreola Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Go to tbssowners.com. I got the 3/4 DJM drop. Rides better than stock with the right shocks. Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 if you need that torsion bar unloading tool i have one you could use man although, ill have to charge a .25 cent gas fee for delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatdavidkid Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Spindles FTW. Ill never lowr a truck a different way I the front again unless I did those 2-3" drop arms from bell tech. My truck isn't an ss so I lowered it 4" to make it level in the back, thinking avout going up one notch on the hanger. With short bump stops and rear drop shocks mine would ride great.

NORCAL SS Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) You lose turning radius with those spindles. Ive been lowering these sss trucks for over 10 years now. Trust me on this after how many kits ive sold here and installed locally this is the best bet and its adjustable 2-3 inches in front and 3-4 in rear http://www.tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=110 Edited July 24, 2013 by NORCAL SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
