***PICS*** Lowered the back end

[BlizzardX23]

After I took out the rear bump stops...this is how low the entire truck sits....
The front is LIFTED as high as it will go via torsion bar crank..the bolt is maxed out..all the way up...so the front end can still go MUCH lower!

I still dont like how much the back end bounces...even after the free travel mod...will helper bags help in ride quality?


lemme know what you guys think about how it turned out.......

 

[blueflamed03]

looks very good man...yes, I think so helper bags may help that 'springy' feeling.

 

[Max]

My bags helped alot, I'm a tad lower without having the free travel mod done. Bags will prevent bottoming out.

 

[denalianyone]

helper bags should help but if not to your liking try replacing coils with 2500 bags.

 

[Nickleahy23]

damn i need to get my broke ass to find some shocks and get the back down a bit..what are you runnin in front?

max im thinkin i need to get some spindles and crank the bars up some..im riddin full bump stops in front and its not a very soft ride lol plus im over half an inch lower on the drivers side still

 

[Sam Hamm]

i see u actually did buy the lip and try it. it looks good.

also what are u using to get that damn low. im selling the 6s to buy 4s right now so ima be lower.

they would look good with the red grill

 

[BlizzardX23]

Thanks guys! Im pleased with how it sits

Nickleahy23, mine sits between 1/2 to 3/4 inch lower on driver side as well...thanks to the battery, steering linkage...etc...my driver side torsion bolt is cranked as HIGH as it will possible go...wont go any higher lol...


I just spent the money on the springs, dont really wanna waste them yet...I might try the helper bags...Max, what did you mean your lower WITHOUT the free travel mod?...how the hell did you do that???


lol...those are nice ****** rims Sam...and they would match...I just cant do 26s lol...24s arent even my style..but some are pretty clean..I'll try to get a pic of the truck all cleaned up...its funny..I drag that front piece on EVERYTHING...every parking lot entrance...every speed bump...flying hard around corners, it drags the ground..I LOVE it!!! hahah

Im just using 2 inch drop spindles, and new torsion keys up front...


Hey Max, I sent you a PM by the way...askin bout your headers...any info you wanna share? or is it a secret? lol..

Ill take some tonight

 

[OKLAGMCRUISER]

what shocks are you running in the rear? still AR stockers? should get some bouncy relief from the helper bags setup as others have said...or consider a shock change and add the resistors to get rid of the AR CEL.

Sick... Ridiculously SICK...

I need to stop ordering performance stuff and get my crap lowered and rims

Ya I dont see where you listed the springs you have...looks like a 3/5 kit man. Are you saying you're running a 2/4?

For the bounce, try DJM shock relos and some BellTech Street Performance shocks, part number 2412FF. Ride is very improved with the stiffer shocks sitting at a better angle. I don't bottom out at all to the rear fender and trust me there's not much room there

Im not exactly sure...Do you have a tape measure?



From the fender lip to the ground

32 1/4 inches - Front
33 1/4 inches - Rear

Could you check yours to see what it is stock? I'd like to know how much of a drop I got as well

Sorry bout that...yes, your right..I used the Mcgaughys 3/5 drop. With this kit, I got;


**REAR**
5 inch drop coils

Trailing arm relocating brackets

Drop shocks to replace my stock air shocks (they are shorter to fit the drop correctly)

New sway bar endlinks



**FRONT**

2 inch drop spindles

New Torsion Keys


Got my setup from 55belairtim

For what it's worth, I started rubbing my rear fender after 3 mos of those rear shocks. When i took them off, they were mush and I realized why my ride quality had diminished.

on Tim though, top notch guy
