im just haveing some trouble finding 2" drop spindle for a good price. anybody selling 2" drop spindle and/or springs.

Duane, from 3rd strike performance sells them. He's a vendor on here. He sells the McGaughy's drop kit. It's prolly the best kit out there!

thanks Trupiano. i was thinking about doing 3" lowering springs up front an not get spindles yet an just flip the rear with shocks all the way around. good or bad idea?

Honestly, if you are gonna put it on air in the near future, I would just forget the static drop and put the money that would be spent on it towards better air ride components/tubular chassis components or a sick wicked back half.

i will spend about 300 to drop my truck. maybe alittle more cause of s&h on parts lol. but idk if im gonna bagg an bd the dodge or get a project. so i figure i would gonna ahead an do this.

if you put 3' drop springs you are going to sacrifice ride quality. mine is dropped 3 in the front with springs and its a little sloppy. i would sheel out the extra and use either spindles or lower a arms

yeah i kinda figured that. lol
how is the camber with just the 3" springs?

it was horrible at first i wore out the inside of my tires so fast. some shims and an alignment fixed it though

spindles,coils,a arms, then flip kit, lowering leafs, and drop shackles

then youll be low

dylanstefanos · Mar 21, 2011

I ordered my shocks, perches, an 3" lowering springs today. im thinking just flipin the rear for now an those springs an shocks an rolling to texmex like that.

Its not too bad but not like stock. I'm not in a rush to change anything

The spindles are the way to go my truck rides and handles like a dream

If you want to bag it, then I would say focus on doing just that. If you want dirt cheap drop, then cut yor coils and build your own flip. Good luck.
