lowered my truck some more

[derek_m]

originally was a MCG 2/4 eco.

cut half coil off the fronts and 2 coils off the rear. its a 3/5? now i think.

running 275/55/20 tires.

measuring from ground to fender it is 32.5" in the front, 34" in the rear.

running stock shocks in front, going to put beltech drop shocks in rear. also took out my durango airlift bags(4.35"x8") and going to put in #60743 toyota 4 runner bags (4.35"x6.5" with 2.5" spacer <- i will cut these down to correct thickness for what i need if necessary)

i plan to keep towing the 22ft enclosed car hauler with this setup. hopefully will have the bags and shocks in tomorrow and testing it out friday.

Looks good to me! I love me a lowered RCSB

 

[BAILEY1]

Very nice!

 

[Etroze86]

Damn that looks good. Now if I could talk my wife into letting me cut springs.

Looks good....any rubbing with those tires?

 

[derek_m]

Thanks guys.

As far as rubbing, it only rubs a little bit at full lock on the sway bar. It does not rub the wheel liner. I pulled the liner back just a bit with a zip tie.

how's the clearance on the rear in regard to the bump stop?

 

[bigbadram1500]

nice!

 

[derek_m]

as for the bumpstops in rear, I chopped the mcg bumpstops in half. they are foam filled so I smeared some black rtv over top to help keep moisture out of them until new shorter ones come in

 

[ClayBonics]

Nice

Did you end up using the 4Runner bags with a cut spacer?

 

[twinzx11]

nice man I want to cut mine some more also

 

[derek_m]

tyler, yes.

the 4 runner kit is about the same price as the Ram and Durango kits. same diameter, just 6.5" tall, however they come with 2.5" plastic spacers that can be cut down. all seems to be working fine for me.

since the original post I have also swapped out bumpstops. replaced the rears that I cut down with new ones of similar height. In the front I also cut off the factory bumpstop cups and bolted in some energy suspension ones.

Looks great man!
Have you towed that enclosed trailer since the "lower-ering"?
I can't imagine towing anything significant being so low, without a major investment in parts & some clever engineering.

Thanks man.
