you can use drop shackles and remove the OL leafs to bring close to level.

I Know That But I was trying to drop front 2 inchs to even out the space between tire and fender well and do the same in rear which to go level will be 5 inch in rear and 5 inchs is all the travel rear axle has before bump stop

Hey guys. I have a 05 2x4 quad cab and had it 4 6 dropped forever and recently cut a coil up front and put shackles on it so it's almost 6 8 now. I trimmed the inner fenders and battery box but I have a weird noise now. When I'm driving if I let it coast it makes a slight hum or grinding noise. Very faint and I can give it gas and it stops. Its been aligned and all. Could the trans nd shimmed up or what?

Default 4/5 drop

I jdm lowering kit with 4" drop control arms and 6" flip kit on the back, the kit came with adjustable shackles on the back to raise it up. I have it at 5" on the back to avoid the need of a C-notch on the back.( note I had to get some camber bolts to adjust the camber in the from I went with belltech bolts) so my rear is a little higher but everyone including my self like it. It gives it a nice stance since I also have performance going on.
And it sitting on 22 viper replicas.

I decided to flip the axle on my 04 single cab, ordered a pair of perches of amazon, went down to a local suspension shop and picked up shocks, shackles, u bolts, and new hardware. May have saved a little bit of money but it was mainly more convenient for me at the time.. I knew the ball park of the drop and kinda just rolled with it.. I'm pretty sure it's around a 4" drop in the rear only.. yes the front is stock.. still rides nice...... and may I mention the importance of pinion angle. the driveshaft decided it didn't want to be under the truck anymore at about 50mph.. that was fun.






some of the carnage

Question Help?

I have an 03 4.7 quad cab 2wd. I am wanting to put 22 inch srt10s and am wondering where I can get the best deal on some chrome ones, and what size tire should I run. I wanna do a belltech 2/5 drop later. If I do that drop kit, can I get around c-notching my frame. Here's the link http://www.belltech.com/products/bel...its-14370.html
