[THE YETI]

Man I didn’t even see all these updates... but set those wheels on fire ASAP. Lol...

 

[NathanJax]

Lowering almost done. Back is completely done, Have to finish up the front Monday.

Might have to raise the back up a little (somehow) since it's at 32" and I'm not sure I can get the front down that low...

 

[NeverSatisfied]

at 4" the front should sit around 33" (depending on tire size). Did you go 6 or 7 in the back?

Just the flip kit in the back. Still on factory mounts. It's a good I didn't change the rear mount too or it would have been too low


With the front at 33", what parts are used to get that? Technically I have the belltech 2" spindles, Belltech 2" springs, and the Belltech +2 to -2 struts

 

[NeverSatisfied]

I’m just running spindles and struts set at -2. Out back mine is just the flip kit which gave me 7”. My truck before the air shocks had a 1” rake front to back air shocks and some settling has fixe that. Now everything is around 32.5” (that was with 295/35/24s idk what it is now with the 275/30s)

 

[kwOH]

I cant quote multiple things on tapatalk, which is screwing me over.

I think the belltech flip is only 5-6, could be wrong, so its 6 in the back?

33 in the front with the shocks, springs, and spindles should get 33, i think....so 33 all the way around?

Damn you guys and your 2wd and no snow! Looks f'n sweet already with only half the stance! [emoji106][emoji106]

I think stock measurements are somewhere around 36 1/2" front & 38 1/2", that may be for a awd or 4wd only, idk.

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Here are my measurements before the new tires and air shocks. Also both stock and lowered measurements were taken on 295/35/24s

 

[kwOH]

The 4/6 at 33 will be on point.

Strange that the left was higher than the right. Usually it's the other way.

Nice left-to-right numbers after the drop, though. Does that inch lower in the rear show? I know some fender/body shapes can make it look even.

Correct. So that's the full 6". I could go up to 5" by adding the rear bracket and then another 1" up (so a 4" drop) by adding shackles.

33 in the front with the shocks, springs, and spindles should get 33, i think....so 33 all the way around?

That's were I hope I sit at

Thanks. Can't wait

I might use some shims/spacers to make it as level as possible all around...

You could definitely see the difference. It’s not there anymore with the air shocks tho

Right now at

LF 33" LR 33"
LR 32" R" 33"

I'm going to raise the LR up so it's all level. Gotta clean it up and take better pics and now it's time to find some rims...

looks damn good man! I don't know on your body style but the rear brackets on mine are adjustable. in the flipped position I can lift it up 1" or 2" depended on what holes I mount it in. or in the stock position I can be stock or dropped 1". maybe yours is the same way? u think the front will settle any over time?

 

[kwOH]

Cant wait to see your wheel choice. [emoji106]

 

[NathanJax]

Got my front windshield tinted... it's dark...

Cant wait to see your wheel choice. [emoji106]

Ordered some new 295/30/24 tires today. Should fit perfect under the truck with new rims... Now I just gotta find some rims I like. So hard

Is @NathanJax made of money?
I've never seen so many restorations and modifications in such a short period of time and in such rapid succession.
Lol
