Lowered my truck finally! Pics inside
Im a happy with the way it turned out! Had a local shop do it for piece of mind, its a 4/5 with 2" coils and lowered A-arms, with 4" coils and a 1" block rear. New kyb drop shocks all the way around. Tires are 275/60/15 rear and 255/60/15 fronts.. handles way better too.. Had to show it off
Before And after

Re: Lowered my truck finally! Pics inside
Please let us know how it drives now. Does it drive rough or smoothly down the road now that you lowered it?

Re: Lowered my truck finally! Pics inside
Add a front sway bar,... if you don't already have one.
The best "cheap mod" you can do for your truck handling. Find a 73-87 3/4-ton (1-1/4") sway bar and add some Energy Suspenion bushings.

Did you take any wheel measurements? I was wondering how high the truck was at the front/rear wheel arches? |
