here the scoop if its 4x4 lift it or level....4x2 drop it till your hearts content....

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

You can drop a 4x4.... especialy if your racing it.

 

[Trupiano]

Yeah Im droppin my 4X4 in about 2 months. Cant wait! If it's a 4x4 though, you gotta do it right with the McGaughy spindles!

This truck has inspired me for many of the things I have done on my own truck. It belongs to a guy named Kevin on another list. It is a 05 AWD model and in my book is a very serious machine. Actually, I need to thank the guy.

360plus........I think was his name? that truck kick ass

 

[OklaHemi]

whoa thats sexy.

I usually don't, but I actually like the fender flares on his lowered truck. He's on car domain. Calls it "Never Done" on there. He's got pics of each install, pretty badass! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2299721

I'll be joining your ranks soon... got a 2/4 kit sitting in my den waiting to go in, its just to damn hot out to go work on anything right now.

I want to join so badly ! But I'm having troubles finding something that will sit the truck maybe an inch higher in the rear than the front. May go for level with a small air bag for the load help. Currently sitting at 35.5" front and 39" rear (ground to center of wheel well fender).

Do not have over-load springs. Not too sure what they are but I'm sure they are the springs that would hit a set of stoppers if the rear was over loaded correct ? If so then my Dad's 3500 has them but I do not (Can get a pic to get this confirmed tomorrow).

With the difference being 3.5-4" wasn't sitting on too level a ground, I'm torn between McG's 2" shackles or their 4" rear flip kit. With the shackles it'd be less $$ but in the end the traction bar(s) I've been looking into are primarily for flip kits but are adaptable to stock setup.

Also with either set up anything I need to do with the drive-shafts angle?

Any thoughts or advice ? Sorry for the read

The kit I got was a McG's 2/4 with the flip kit and it should have come with the adjustable shackles in the back. I am one of the very few that like the raked look too and wanted to keep that look even after being dropped.

Anyone of the lowering kits with a basic flip kits with either springs or spindle will get you level. Typically if you go to the higher hole on the shackle you will be just a touch lower in the rear. If you use the other hole it will be level. With a air bag helper kit you can get the daggo look easy enough and still beable to haul any load you want. Also if you wanted to pre-load one of the rear wheels the air bags make it really simple.

nice truckin glad you decided to drop it some more than we talked about....

 

[Redtruck-VA]

OOOH yeah, I really like the look of these bad ass lowered 3g trucks!!

 

[truckin151]

Yeah just gotta wait til its cooler out unfortunately. Working when its 115* and humid sucks balls

 

[Redtruck-VA]

OBTW, the lower trucks also get better gas mileage with less drag, this makes them also faster.... So this makes the drop kit a speed mod.......

Stating the obvious...

 

[Got_Hemi44]

pic with 2" drop shackles. I have taken the over load springs out since but need to take updated pics. It's only 1/4 inch off level now.

Are you just being sarcastic? Or is this actually true?
