Default lowering kit...

couple of questions, i'm thinking about lowering my truck 3" in the front and 4" in the rear, my question is will the truck look leveled? don't want the front lower than the rear.

second question is an electrical problem, when ever i raise the passenger window the fuse for the stereo amp burns out, any ideas?

any help is appreciated, thank you.

kinda need to know what truck it is. but if it's a stock suspension of a second gen it's probably has 1 1/2" rear inch lift over the front. so it will look really damn close to level. that works for the 1500's anyway. if it's a 2500 or 3500 i think they have 2" to 3" difference...

The passenger window issue is almost assuredly an exposed wire or a short in a line...... I'd pull off the door panel and check to see if any of the speaker/amp wiring is exposed or touching the window relay.... chances are it might be...

As for leveling your truck out.... a 3/4 drop is usually enough to level any truck. Trucks are typically higher in the rear so when they are loaded it balances it out.....

I would call around and look actually find someone with that drop on a truck.....make sure its how low you actually wanna go...

Why would anyone wanna lower a 3500? Cuz they want to? Cuz they look nice? Thats like asking why anyone would wanna put a V8 in a Ford Pinto....just CUZ.....
