- seriously man! For sho! It's a bout flippin time I run into another 4x4 guy that wants to go lower!!! What kit are you planning on using for the 4x4 drop?

Man I love that thing! It's making me pretty jealous! How are the springs workin? I have a 4x4 and I plan on drop'in it 2/4.5 here around september or october. I think Ill go the mcgaughy's spindle route though , and replace my shocks, and throw on a sway bar. I still use my 4x4 for snow/rain/hauling, but the trucks handling is way too sloppy, and I have a damn hard time loading my 06 yamaha r6 in there as well. Props man!

 

I'm a new guy to the forum but really like the lowered look. I use my truck primarily to pull my drag car. I have had a number of trucks and this is my first Dodge. The ride on the highway (an maybe because I haven't had a truck for a couple of years) feels unsteady, kind of a little "top heavy" although the 20's do add a bunch to the unsprung weight................so lowering it should make driving on the highway feel more steady........plus I just like the look of a moderately lowered truck.
Here is a picture of a truck that in my mind is perfect. The owner used a McNaughty's 2/4 kit which was dropped spindles and flip kit, I like the idea of keeping the front springs.

IMHO

 

im going to do a DIY flip kit in the rear using spring perches and shackles im hoping to pick up at a swap meet. then for the front im just loosin my t-bars. im not going to put more about $80 bux into it. thats alot better the $300+

 

Did u use ur stock spindles...I wanna drop mine with the same kit but I'm wondering if I need the spindle kit so it won't mess up my tires or will it?

 

stewart.. just remember, you get what you pay for. and enro503, i used the factory spindles with only 2'' drop springs. it does wear on the tires a bit, so i would only recommend that route as a temporary thing. when i get back from iraq im gonna throw for some spindles like i shoulda in the first place. if you can afford it, or wait to afford it, i would do that...

 

yeah the $80 is just for shocks!. everything else is being hand made by my dad. he is a master fabricator so im taken care of as far as spring perches and shackles go!

 

very nice! fabrication is innovation!

 

Looks great!
