    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    So decided to paint the stock wheels a graphite color. 1--because I hoped it would it look better and 2--to clean them up from all the scratches that the beauty rings caused. Plus I purchased some new tires. I DEF LIKE!

    Already lowered 2/4, want to go 4/6 need help

    Couple things you can look at that I know folks have done--other than the flip kit. --You can remove the helper leaf spring and get about an inch more drop. --You can install lowering blocks. Doing a combo of both will get you that other 2 inches you need. Some folks have not liked the...

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    From Suspension Connection--its the Hellwig #7822 design for lowered trucks, but they have others for 4wd and such. I got it for $248 and some change. Had a sale or discount going on when i ordered.

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    Last weekend dropped the oil pan and installed a new gasket--no more leaks anywhere! YEAH! This weekend finally installed the rear sway bar. WOW, what a dif it made. Understeer gone, now pretty darn neutral, maybe a tiny bit of oversteer, but hey it's a V6, I'm not pushing it THAT much in the...

    2001 slow drop.

    Seeing that roll pan on your truck and looking eBay and seeing it right there to order .... man I need that! lol Only thing is, I have dual pipes out the back now and when I install the roll pan, I'm going to have it modded with some half circle cut outs. That way I can tuck the tail pipes up...

    Will tire fit on wheel?

    If I may suggest... if you have a good local Firestone (or other alignment capable shop) and they offer a lifetime alignment and you plan on doing some suspension work i'd spend the money on it. At Firestone they have a $90 1-time alignment or a lifetime $220 alignment. I have taken it in 4...

    Leveling 1500 RWD

    As others have mentioned you'll need some new shocks. (If I was you I'd get with DodgeTx about those he has.) To get 4" drop in back I did 2" lowering shackles and new leaf hangers as well. You can reverse the hangers instead of buying lowering ones. So shackles (rear of spring) equal 2" and...

    Thrust Angle

    Well found the previous alignment sheets. Dude, I think you are on to something. :waytogo: I didn't get alignment checked last year after I put on the rear hangers. I deployed and had a million things going on. Before I did the hangers the Thrust Angle was -0.14. Now it's 0.45--that's...

    Thrust Angle

    Yeppers. I'll def check things but not sure how the shackles and the hangers would be that far off. I need to look for my alignment sheet from right after i did the drop last year to compare as well. Appreciate the response.
