Tempted to lower

2 in drop springs with 2 in drop spindles give you a 4 in drop.

Dropped Spindles Vs. Short Springs

A popular product that has evolved from the sport-truck world is the dropped spindle, which moves the spindle higher in the forging than it is in a stock unit. When a dropped spindle is bolted in the place of its stock counterpart, the body and frame are effectively lowered over the wheels, giving the car a lower stance. Most dropped-spindle manufacturers can drop your stock front suspension approximately 2 inches with the simple addition of a dropped spindle, without cutting or replacing the coil spring. With a dropped spindle you are not changing the ride characteristics at all, because the spring rate hasn’t been altered. The car should handle slightly better than stock because the center of gravity has been lowered, but the car will still not be a true canyon carver without the addition of a set of higher-rated coil springs to increase roll stiffness.

A problem with a dropped spindle is maintaining the proper suspension geometry and the proper clearance between the lower control arm and the wheel when it is turned to a full-lock position. A dropped spindle, when installed properly, tucks the wheel up higher in the wheel well and physically pushes it out closer to the fender lip to help maintain correct geometry. As long as the proper wheel/tire combination is used there shouldn’t be a problem. This means getting the right wheel with the right offset and proper tire section width.

A shorter coil spring works the same as a stock coil spring. Both are designed to control ride qualities. Often a shorter spring will come with the same amount of coils in it as a stock spring, but it’s wound more tightly, which effectively makes the spring shorter. Most shorter coil springs are variable-rate, which means the first couple of coils are very tightly wound, while the rest are more loosely wound. Generally, the tighter the windings, the softer the spring rate. This means that the first few inches of travel will be fairly soft, for around-town driving, but when compressed further as your driving style becomes more aggressive, the spring rate will increase. So, for example, on a stock coil spring, if it takes 200 pounds to deflect the first inch and another 200 pounds to deflect the second (400 pounds total), on a dropped spring with a variable rate, the first inch of deflection may take the same 200 pounds, but the second inch of deflection may take 250 pounds or more.

Yes, yes, yes, and maybe.

Lower that TRUCK!


My opinion:


4 door: lowered
2 door: lowered
4x4: lowered

Yup, that pretty much sums it up! :********:

Mines 2wd. I am kinda at odds with myself. The color makes me think it would look awesome lifted, but I just have no use for it. The first one I looked at was a sport but I just have this thing, trucks should come with chrome bumpers.
