what i want to see are some great pics of 3rd gen's with just some drop shackles and maybe the o/l spring removed and with comments of how the ride is etc... i really want to do this next most of all. and if anyone knows if there is any down side to doing this would help, i don't tow right now and prob never will anything heavy. also this would be for an 08 QC 1500 hemi. thanks

 

i guess you could just read through it has been discussed in here alot as most guys have done this....i have pics all over the forum just check all my posts....i have been running this app for almost a yr the ride is to my liking and no adverse effects other than the payload i wouldnt over load it cause there wouldnt be a over load spring to catch the extra weight....i sit real level....

 

well black05 it did bring it pretty level from what i can tell. lmk about the ride quality...i can't help but think this may suffer a bit. i would be surprised if it maintained the stock quality ride. but seeing as the clamps didn't cost me anything i may try it just to see. my drop shackles are on order so i got to decide soon cause when i get down there to swap them out that would be the time i delete the o/l spring if i go that route.

 

I ran drop shackles with the O/L spring removed for 6 years and pull a 6x12 ft enclosed trailer (VTX1800) with no problems. If you look at post #1109 the top picture is with the drop shackles. My signature picture is with drop spindles and flip kit. All in all not a lot of difference in appearance. But the newer configuration is 2" lower front and rear from the orignal setup. Ride pretty much the same as both front and rear are riding on the same springs and shocks, but with 2" less travel. With the caster/camber adjusters installed and a excellent alignment using state of the art alignment machine it drives like a sports car. I couldn't be more pleased with it.

 

What brand did you go with brother?

 

The truck rides fine i just try to take the bumps slower. If i have some time this summer i might remove the o/l. It is completely level with the front. I might not take anything off and ill just take my clamps off.. Sitting low with coopers just doesnt fit my taste atm.

 

Cooper HT's They are 30.25 inches tall. IMHO, they look good, are quiet.
I got four tires mounted and balance for $550 out the door.

 

i will be apart of this club on wednesday

 

Great fun! Come on down....

 

Looks good with those tires...so it seems that you are thinking about something other than the zeon ltz now that the rear is lower? and what do you mean by "I might not take anything off and ill just take my clamps off" ? I like the look so far though.
