Where are you finding more than a 2 inch rear drop? I have a 2 inch lowering shackle sitting here just begging to be put on...


but if I could get more, I would sell this one. lol.


you are going to have to cut springs on the front... I have searched all over for them. again, let me know if you find something.

James at Chasis Tech made a custom set of coils, shackes and added a set of shocks. Between talking to him and DJwolf, we are researching some possibilities. If they work, I will post them here for everyone.

This is what it looked like.

That's the problem though, Chassis Tech a.k.a. AIM Industries will never see one of their parts on my truck and I would advise you to do thorough research on the company before you let their parts anywhere near yours if you're thinking of using them.

Rich, we are getting the specs that Chasis Tech used for the coils and trying to find something similiar. I am not putting thier product on my truck. Like I said, if this brain storming/fabbing works, I will post the results.

And, it's not in the weeds.
Leveled and lowered is nice.

I met up with DJ today and he is getting a parts list. Suspension is his speciality and like I said if it works, I will post up all the part numbers and step by step. This will probably be my last project before rolling to Nebraska.
