Hey fellow ground huggers :P

The TOTM voting poll is coming to a close but we still have a chance to slide ride under them :P

Any support would in greatly appreciated in this fun event.

Thanks.

 

haha, figured youd eventualy do it silver, took ya long enough lol jk... youll wanna go lower. its inevitable that everyone that gets drop shackles eventually goes lower.

 

I think itis called "evolution"....

 

I know it's probly been discussed a lot but im just too lazy to look through all 120 pages.

Looking to level my 05 1500 QCSLT 2wd.

I don't want to remove the O/L cause I haul my bikes often.
Right now im looking at some 2" drop shackles, but I know it will still have some rake in it.

Any suggestions as to what I would need to be level, will it effect the ride, and rough cost?

Thanks.

 

Here's a open question to all of those who have removed their O/L springs. Is there anything you can't do with the spring removed that you did before removing the springs?
Just for the record, I never haul dirt, gravel, fire wood or pulled 20+ foot travel trailers. But I do pull an enclosed 8x12 motorcycle trailer , home garbage, lawn mowers and tools without a problem. When I removed my o/l springs it looked like they had never touched the spring pack. So you see where this is going. Do we normally ever use the O/L springs? My guess is no.

 

^^^^^\^you sir, are correct. If u are like me, n 90% of the population of sport truck drivers, u do NOT ever use ur truck as a truck. Lol. I say install one of two parts for the leveling task. Either one will work. A set of drop shackles for the rear, or a set of 2" lift blocks for the front end. However, if ur like me, youll wanna go lower. It's called "acrophobia", the fear of heights.

 

I always assumed that the overloads is excatly what they are, overloads for when you are close or exceeding the payload/towing/hauling capacity.

 

Maori, that makes sense. i don't dog my truck and don't need O/L springs. If you need O/L maybe you got the wrong truck.
Maori, everytime I see a flat black ride I think about your truck. I saw a flat black Porsche 911 that was totally sick.

 

Here is a picture of my lowered truck working. No o/L springs and no bags.
If the trailer/motorcycle was heavier I would use helper bags.
