Strictly the 4x4 lowering thread...

[Sillygoose]

I've got a set of 4wd front ground force drop coils for sale if anyone is looking. PM me.

Are the helper bags a must for the rear of these trucks when lowered or do they make no difference?

GF 9984 kit w/ ~400 miles.

Front:

Rear:


i have a serious vibration at 75+ mph.. like, I'm an ******* and drive 90 on the interstate.. but I won't take this truck over about 72 mph as it feels like it's gonna come apart. Truck has 16xx miles on it.

I checked output (shaft balance wheel) and pinion flange.. but I'm not awesome.. so maybe someone can translate my findings. Trans was 6 degrees off 90, pinion flange was 3 degrees off 90.. but I had to put the angle finder on opposites side to see and not get burned (i had just pulled in the garage but had to measure).

I had a KNOWN high end shop install the kit, and they also flipped the tires (white letters IN) as it was fighting with the white paint. I may have my regular tire shop spin them and see if something comes up there..

anyone else get crazy vibes from the GF kit on a CCSB??

I was ordering from moes yesterday so I picked up the bags yesterday with a panhard bar. So everything is ordered. Just gotta find a shop to do the install

I had some of the parts sitting in the garage the last 2 year so I'm ready to finally get this done

I have them. Found they helped with ride quality. Certainly a must if you plan on using the truck for truck things.

Had the same thing. Installed an rear adjustable panhard bar and it helped a ton.

Did you get her done yet? Any Pics?
I chopped bagged and lowered my old 2010 Tacoma and then later found my 2018 Ram that Remains currently stock 4x4 height.
Always interested in lowering info.

No not. Yet. I had a few other projects going. Had a lsd Installed in the rear end and was finishing up the stereo.

Gonna try and find a shop. No one in my small town does suspension work. My back is too tore up to do it myself. If I was home In vegas I'd call a few buddies and we would knock it out I'll post some pics when its done

Love to see the build and photos if you get around to it. Good luck

 

[WadXpress]

Anyone have pics of their install? Specifically the bottom spring mounts front and rear. Thanks

 

[WadXpress]

Got to schedule an alignment. Thrust alignment or 4 wheel alignment after a 2/4 drop with the illicit brackets and spohn adjustable control arms and panhard bar?

 

[WadXpress]

Before and after. Measures 35" front and back wheel wells

That looks great!
Maybe just a touch lower in the rear though. It could just be the angle of the photos?
What kit did you use?

Trucks dirty but just cut 1 coil out of rear to see how it looks. Probably get my 22” Hellcats on before I decide if I want it lower.
