BT 2/4 to 3/5 Kit Install

Drop looks good

 

[MR.REMBERT]

Okay. I cut a half up front and 1 in the back. I dropped the back this weekend, didn't have time for the front. Will get to that this weekend. I hope i'm not too low as well. You have any issues in the back?

 

[rolltideram]

No i dont have much if any problems in the back. Only thing I get is from time to time on large bumps if im in it and torq is on the rear I can bounce off bump stops. I am actually thinking of going to go a tad lower in the back to level out the look of mine.

 

[MR.REMBERT]

Did you cut the bump stops? I took off maybe half an inch and haven't had any issues.

 

[rolltideram]

I took off about that on my stops as well. I really only bottom it on hard bumps when im getting on it.

Every time i see a dropped 4th gen it makes me second guess my direction.... lol nice work.

 

[rolltideram]

Wouldn't be hard man, change some springs and shocks and your there

 

[rolltideram]

So finally got my 1"lift spacers for the front to bring it up just a hair as I wont to get a little from the pigeon tow I have going on right now and to get a better chance to get close if not in alignment. Will install this weekend and get a before and after

Anytime you get to feeling that way we can just trade trucks for a while. I sure as hell miss my big ass 4x4's
Ain't quite got the wife talked into buying my truck from me so I can buy a 015 dually 4x4. Working on it, just not there yet.

 

[Lhemi]

Exhausted, man do you think we can drop mine a little more? I'm getting to much air underneath her at high speeds.

 

[rolltideram]

Which part? The front or rear? What are you cut to as of now? What tires you running? Remember I went an entire coil up front which I would say brought me down close to 4 some inches and with my tread it's just too much and to align I can get close but won't go to full align ever. I would just get new tires to fix it but found it to be cheaper for now to just order the 1" lift for the front to bring it up just a tad to help it out till I get my full air ride kit together.

You can always go lower, just depends how much more money you're willing to throw at it.

 

[Lhemi]

I've really got it handling nice again, that's what I'm worried about messing up. But I also know if I want a faster top speed I've got to kill that air underneath.

 

[rolltideram]

TylerB summed it up. You can always go lower just have to ask what you're willing to spend into it to adjust OTHER things that get affected by dropping it lower.

 

[rolltideram]

Also, are you going to the strip and thats why you are working to get your trap times lower?

 

[Lhemi]

Road course, I'm not a 1/4 mile kind of guy.

I screwed with you about some Bama mess in another thread, but I was totally just pulling your chain. Man that's a good looking crew cab. Since I'm a total goober, what are you guys using to cut these springs?

 

[rolltideram]

Simple air cutter

Looking back on it I'm guessing you would have done just half a coil in the front? And a full coil in the back? And how in the world do you measure it? And one last question, did you buy just the coils or the coils and shocks?

Thanks!

 

[rolltideram]

Yea 1 full is to much for front, the back is fine. Can measure it for sure from center wheel up and that will give you best measurement. I bought coils and shocks
