yeah i dont want to lift it

and its 2WD so that would be pointless..

the eibach kit comes with springs in the front and shackles in the rear.

on their site its showing 1.5" drop in the front with a 2" drop in the rear..

for $191 shipped ot my door... seems like a pretty good deal..

just wondering if anyone else has had any problems or issues with em..


my friend has a complete pro=kit on his mustang (shocks,springs, sway-bars) and that thing was pretty solid..

ride quality isnt an issue..


i wonder if i need drop shocks for such a minimal drop??

I think there are maybe two people on here that have lowered their trucks. Eibach is a good brand so I say go for it. The only downfall to it is the shackle, i heard it is a pita to remove the welds from the factory shackle to put the new lowering shackle in. The one-two is a good kit because i believe if you go anything more then that you need to get a new tranny cross-member.

yeah i didnt really want ot go anymore than that, but im sure if i did all i would need is the crossmember than get a new shackle and hanger kit from belltech and their drop spindles.


so the stock shackles are welded?

where at?

I'm planning to drop my truck eventually too, but after looking at all the options, i want top do mine with air bags all the way around. that way i can still raise the truck when im towing or when i have to hit the dirt in the desert hauling the toys. I have yet to find a complete four corner air bag kit for the 2nd gen ram though

you would have to piece together different kits to make it work.

air-ride akes a front kit

and belltech makes a rear..

not sure how well that would work though..
