Rear Lowering Leaf Springs

[392Hemi]

Has anyone ran the lowering leaf springs in the back? Says they lower the truck about 4" in the rear.

I will be installing the tci kit next week with 2 inch lowering blocks. 4 in drop springs usually have the top spring eyes reversed so the spring leaf comes off the top opposed to the bottom and slightly de-arch the leaf to make it lowered. Anyone have pics of ride height with either setup?

I used the TCI kit and it was quite easy, very happy with the result. I also used 2" lowering blocks and I bought a c notch kit, it rides so well and hasn't bottomed out yet so I haven't had to install the notch kit. CCP has a DIY in their Tect section so you can see the basics on how to do it. It is pretty much a bolt on except where you need to weld the saddles onto the rear axle.

on my TCI kit the shocks are fully extended with no weight on frame will putting box/cab bring the frame down enough for prober travel on shocks

I had the same experience, as soon as I added the weight of the bed and fenders it worked out fine.
