Take em out & make some custom ones

If you run with them out, it makes it real dirty under the hood & you run the risk of denting your hood with a rock

4" drop springs on the front sounds like a LOT to me ... I think you're gonna have bigger issues with alignment and rubbing the outer fender when you turn than you are those inner fenders.

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

true, im gunna take out the inners and see how it drives, if it doesnt rub when i turn then i will build some custom inners. if it does then i will but a 3" coil

TSC (Tractor Supply ) Has a Line of Fenders if you have one around your area............

Is there a reason that you're not just running bags? I think with the 4" springs and 2.5" spindles you are running pretty low in the front end.

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

Unless you're not mentioning something else, that amount of front spring drop won't work on these trucks. You can get by with 3" and spindles, but not as a daily driver going up driveways and such. 2" & 2 1/2" spindles is about all you want as a dd.

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

I just hope you don't end up putting out money for new inner's, or trailer fenders, and end up bottoming them out. I love the setup, and would love to see a side profile, but I know that if you live in Missouri.... good luck! :lol:

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

I'm guessing you'll be going to the 3'' springs for alignment reasons like Shane said, but whatever you do post a side view of it, I bet it looks pretty wicked.

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

i dont live in missouri, i live in western washington. (or was that a joke that i just didnt get ?) hahaha

i think before i do anything with the fenders i will try a set of 2" springs.

as for a side pic, well its sitting on the tires so i cant get it out of the garage. haha sorry guys.

but there are a few more pics in my build thread and i will be posting more there too.

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

ok so now i got the 2 inch coils in it and it does not rub.

very, very nice stance. and I really like the rims!

what's your plans out back?

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

thanks. i put a 4 inch drop coil in the rear but i still need to put in a c notch and 2 inch blocks

theres a few more pics in my build thread

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

When you lower the rear the front will come up some. truck looks terrific...

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

the rear is already lowered so it will stay how it is for a bit

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

I'm pretty sure he meant when you lower the rear even 'more' there will be a slight impact on the height of the front.

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

that front end still looks awful low to be 2" springs ...

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

correct me if im wrong but in the first post he said 2 1/2 spindles and 4" coils??

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

i thought i had 4 inch coils but they were actualy 3 inch but i swaped the coils for 2 inch and i still have the 2 1/2 spindals

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

I see those 20in on front. I have the same dropped spindles and 3 inch coils (5/7 drop) and the tires are not that close to the top of the fender. Of course their 255/60/15 on front. It rides great by the way.

Guess I better stick to 18s when the time comes...

Sorry it won't let me load the pics anymore... says they're now too big (you can look at my previous posts to see my truck):confused:

Re: lowerd my truck !!! but...
 

I used 2 1/2" ds and a 1" drop spring and my tires rub if I hit much of a bump. How tall is your wheel/tire combo, and where did you buy the springs and spindles? I think my tires are 29" tall, and they are tucked up inside the fender. I don't think yours looks that much lower than mine. I think I ended up with alot more than the intended 3 1/2" drop. Here's a before and after with the same height tires. Looks like I got more like 5 or 6" to me. Did you expect your drop to put your truck as low as it is, or did it end up lower than you expected?
