Re: Kit for better handling and lowering
There are kits available...Check LMC Trucks out...The biggest handling improvement will come with adding a front sway bar. The first move in lowering your front end should be with "drop spindles"...That way the steering geometry, caster and camber are not affected with the drop. The rear can be done by simply adding "drop springs" up to 4" and maybe 5" on a short bed and bending the panhard bar. I put a 15* degree bend in my panhard bar with 4" drop springs and the rear end is centered perfectly. I can still haul my 600 lb KZ1000 (drag bike) without bottoming out. If you go over 5," or 4" on a long bed, you will need to relocate your shock mounts and opt for shorter "shorty" shocks as well as either bend or install an adjustable panhard bar. LMC is your friend...~Ghostrider~
