Question for lowering shackle guys and 2/4 kits

Oefootball_70 · Dec 7, 2011

I was wondering if y'all could post the height of the tallest point on your guys' trucks? And maybe a picture with tires size listed?

I am seriously considering (had been for almost a year now) going to a shorter, more fuel efficient version of my truck. I would love to utilize my garage space and this is the only option with a low point of 6'5".

My current truck set up is 8'2" ish and that is with running 3 inch shorter tires than I can fit.

Thanks for all the help in advanced.

If you haven't gotten any by the next time I see my buddy, I'll grab a couple off his. He drives a stock height 2wd '04

Lowering kit? or straight factory suspension?

Mine's 5'10 at the 3rd brake light with 305/40/22s with a 2/4.5 drop

2/4 will deff work, I wonder what lowering shackle puts me at... much cheaper.

HemiBabe · Dec 7, 2011

This might help you get a better idea,
Here's a picture of my truck bone stock, then with 2" lowering shackles and 20's, I didn't notice much of a difference from stock height, and then with the 2/4.5 drop and 22s

thats what i was thinkin. :005:

those sport mirrors really make a big difference in the "street" look of your truck.

Finally got a chance to get that measurement for ya bud. His '04 came in at just shy of 6'3" with stock sized tires

check out page 3, H101 - http://www.dodge.com/bodybuilder/2005sbbgl/dr/drquad/drquad150014054x2.pdf

The stock 4x2 height with 265/70/17s is 74.7". When I had my drop shackles on, it didn't lower the "top" too much. Maybe an inch, 1/2?

Okay, sounds like stock and down will work. I'm thinking of doing what you did JJ with one inch spacer and lowering shackle. With a rear sway bar and possibly rear air bags/compressor. I think I can sell my lifts and get enough to almost break even.

Awesome!!!

Oefootball_70 · Dec 12, 2011

Yeah, I am excited too. I had a couple ideas once I am "lower" of what direction I want the truck to go. Hopefully over the next year or two I can get it all wrapped up.

YES! Another comes over to the "DROP" side!

Oefootball_70 · Dec 12, 2011

Not dropped. Just lower

Not yet. I am wanting to do a spin off on a daytona look. I just need to get the ball rolling.
