2inch lowering spindles and 2 inch drop springs?

[BlkRamRt]

has anyone tried both the 2 inch lowering spindles and 2 inch lowering springs to achieve a 4 inch drop in the front for a 2wd?

Haven't done it on a 2wd, but I did it on a 4wd and it works just fine, though you'd realistically get about 1.5" drop from the spindles.

Yes, I did it.

any problems and what other parts would i need to make this work.

 

[TylerB]

No problems other than the brake dust shields that are supposed to be trimmed, but I just discarded them(forgot my snips at work).

 

[BlkRamRt]

Cool thanks.

 

[RAMMSTEIN]

Yes, I did it.

how is the ride and what did you do to bring the back down to match the extra drop?

 

[TylerB]

Rides just the same as before adding the spindles.

For the rear you have to cut atleast 2 full coils and add shorter bumpstops.

 

[BlkRamRt]

were you able to get the alignment done?

 

[TylerB]

It aligned perfectly. Note that I did trim 1/3 of a coil off the 2" McGaughy's springs to get closer to a 4" drop, with their combo I only got a little over 3". My cut Belltechs were closer to 3.5" drop alone, but would never align.

It did push my front wheels out, but only about 1/4"-3/8". With 1/4" spacers on the rear wheels you can't tell the difference.

^^^ Nice pic, bad ass truck!

I wish I had the balls to go lower right now, but I am still dialing in my 2/4

 

[BlkRamRt]

Looks sick. I think i want to go with the factory aluminum 20's if i plan to go this way. but i definitely want to go lower.

 

[DavidRam]

I am thinkin about it too. 3/5 would do it for me. I like a little rake.

I would need new tires. Mine are rubbing a little now
