Im looking to sell mine they are the flower peddle one also

 

Hey guys !
I just oredered a set of Belltech #5987 Drop Leaf springs for my rear of my
Reg cab and they are supposed to lower 3.5". I have 2 questions
#1, Can I still use lowering shackles at a later date to bring it down another 1.5" to a full 5" drop ?
#2 , If I keep it only a 3.5" drop in the back what shocks do you recommend? I have only seen 0"drop and 5" drop shocks but nothing in between..
I also got McGaughy 2" Front drop Spindles to bring the front down a little too. but my understanding is the spindles dont effect shock stress as opposed to springs because they keep same suspension geometry,, this true..?

thanks guys !
ill put up pics when the order comes in and its all installed..
(PS i was gonna do a flip kit but my factory leaf's both snapped in the same week so it was a cheaper alternative to OEM springs)

 

sorry srt10 wheels !

 

Hello,
I'll try to help, #1. you will have to see what kind of clearance you have with the frame. By not flipping the axle you have a whole different set of problems. With the spring on top you may be very limited in clearance. Generally when travel becomes a problem C notching provides the added needed clearance but your springs are again in the way. Most traction bars are made for a flipped axle. So you will need to fabricate something to fit. I would recomend returning the drop springs and get some new or used springs and just flip the axle. It will be easier and I think cheaper in the long run.
#2 Once you get the axle configured like you want measure the travel you have and go to a shock chart and determine which shock best suits your application. I use the Monroe chart, if you don't like Monroe shocks, cross reference them to your choice. #3. If you only have changed the front spindle the stock shock demension is what you need. Good luck...

 

I saw the picture you posted of the rear of your ride, the Cadilac tail lights look great. Gives it a serious old school custom look. I like plain and simple but that mod is very appealing. Well done....

 

I'm wanting to buy some asap.I'm new to the forum word and don't quite know how to do it all yet soo if you wanna sell em e-mail me

 

x2 I agree. Very sweet and clean.
