What size tire? I have the same kit (but 2wd) and it's weird, but my front is lower and rubs on left turns. I think the tire size might help.Yup. Ride is great. Looks killer. Fits stock tire size. Upper control arms allow for camber adjustments.
I did lower it another 2 inches in the front and rear and got much shorter tires.
You rub with a 3/5 drop? That IS weird. When I was running the 3/5 I had the stock 275/60R20 size and had zero rub. Does it rub in the back or front? I did get an adjustable rear sway bar to re-center my rear end because the pass side tire would just kiss the lip of my bedside. The pic below is the truck with the stock tire size and the 3/5 drop. I have since dropped the front 2 inches with the Belltech kit for 4x4 trucks and cut another 2 inches off the rear springs. I am now running 245/45R20s. I think the sidewall is a little too short. Next set of tires is going to be a little taller.What size tire? I have the same kit (but 2wd) and it's weird, but my front is lower and rubs on left turns. I think the tire size might help.
how did you get it two inches lower? I put in the 3/5 kit but I would like it lower still.Yup. Ride is great. Looks killer. Fits stock tire size. Upper control arms allow for camber adjustments.

I just installed it in mine last month.Has anyone used the IHC 3/5 4x4 regular cab kit?
Facts…I’m definitely going to a 30 inch tire once these nittos wear downOn 3/5 you may occasionally find a dip that causes a rub, going to a 31 or 30 inch tire will fix a lot of issues.
Stock tire size is 32 inches or more
How did the IHC rear shocks work out?Yep, it's weird. The culprit is the front driver's side, when you get close to lock it rubs and the front seems soft. I still have the stock springs and shocks in the front though. I also couldn't use the isolators they sent because the width between coils was about the same size as the isolator. it just slide right between the coils, no way it was staying in there. I plan on bringing down the sidewall though, I'm hoping this helps. I did add a swaybar at the rear at the same time along with the Core 4x4 stuff (panhard, control arms) so I didn't have an issue there. I did have a problem with the rear bottoming out. I added the shocks they sent with the kit yesterday, so I'll see how they do. I'm planning on going viking all around though.
That first tire looks like what I was looking for. Did you like that tire? What were they?
Sorry, this is an old post, but I did the 3/5 IHR kit than I pulled the front CV axels out and installed the Beltech 2in lowering shock for (the 4x4 rams) in the front and cut another 2 inches out of the IHR rear springs. You cannot go past a 3in drop in the front without pulling the CV axels out or they will bind and get damaged. I never use the 4 wheel drive so it didn't bother me a bit.how did you get it two inches lower? I put in the 3/5 kit but I would like it lower still.
IHC shocks are fine. Maybe a bit stiff but that keeps you from bottoming out.How did the IHC rear shocks work out?
I bought my kit secondhand, didn’t come with shocks. Wondering if they’re worth it or what may work instead.
I did not scrape on my steep drive or dips with the 3/5 and stock 275/65/20s. My 5/7 drop is another story. The crossmember in the front hangs really low on these trucks and that scrapes sometimes on my drive. But my tires are also a little too small. So a taller sidewall would help with that.Do you scrape on driveways or huge dips? Been thinking about pulling the trigger on a 3/5 kit
You can also remove the front diff and driveshaft to,if you haven't,makes working under the engine alot nicer.Either unbolt the front actuator off the diff and leave it plugged in and out of the way,or remove it and use AlphaOBD to kill the light.Saves roughly another 80 lbs off the front of the truck.Sorry, this is an old post, but I did the 3/5 IHR kit than I pulled the front CV axels out and installed the Beltech 2in lowering shock for (the 4x4 rams) in the front and cut another 2 inches out of the IHR rear springs.

I didn't think about removing it in AlfaOBD. Do you know what codes have to be modified? I have been planing to remove diff at some point.You can also remove the front diff and driveshaft to,if you haven't,makes working under the engine alot nicer.Either unbolt the front actuator off the diff and leave it plugged in and out of the way,or remove it and use AlphaOBD to kill the light.Saves roughly another 80 lbs off the front of the truck.
