im in love with it, i want 26's now. my wife is going to kill me. i guess i can tell her that 22's are 2000 and late. how does it ride? how much rubber do you have?

 

[jhemi]

last year it was at stock ride height and rode great, now that its lowered its a little sloppy feeling but im running stock shocks still rubs a little on drivers side when i turn but that could be from the deer that decided to t-bone me last fall still havnt fixed it yet, im running 305-30-26 so theres a couple inches of rubber between rim and road id like to go lower but dont want to mess up the 4wd

[jhemi]

Welcome to the LCC dude! Truck looks good!

 

[jhemi]

Trup, your post a while back on how to modify the 2wd spindles for th 4wd trucks is how i found this site, worked good, now what can i do to make the ride quality better, she feels more tipsy in the curves and i hit the bump stops when bike is in back and hit small bumps

 

[jhemi]

Haha I'm glad I could help! That's the exact same problem I had after the drop! Hellwig Sway bar definately stiffened up the back end a ton, and the helper bags helped with the sway and keeps it off the bump stops. That, coupled with some new shocks, if you don't have any yet, will give you the perfect ride/performance handling! I also changed the rubber bushings with polyeurothane bushings, but I didn't really notice any difference from them. Good luck, and lemme know if I can help!

sweet pics. my pan has the cut out for the hitch, its steel and has the raised licence plate which i prefer over a completely smooth one like a sir michaels. roll pand are neccessary on a lowered truck.



i wasnt 26's now too.

 

[donaldjp]

Donald, looking at your pictures I would guess you are in the upper holes on your shackles. If you go to the bottom holes it will raise the rear an inch to be level. Good luck..

Just went and looked at which holes i was using on my shackles and they are in the lower holes, hmmm, looks like i need to figure something different to do

 

[Redtruck-VA]

Well that case, the easy answer is to lower the front..... believe me it never ends....

 

[Trupiano]

If the McGaughy's shackles that came with the 2/4.5 drop kit don't give enough drop in the back, you can put the OEM stock shackles back on, but your gonna be at like 6 inches of drop in the back. That's what I did, then air'd my helper bags up till I was perfectly where I wanted to be.

 

[Redtruck-VA]

Like I said, it never ends.... just one more inch! lol

 

[Trupiano]

Haha, yeah I fell victim to that.

I posted information about the Aeon springs I am using in the Lowered thread in the 3G section.
