2/5 drop. rear flip kit and front coil springs from Belltech. can you use lowering blocks to go down some more. make it a 3/6, or am i going to run into problems going that low? 2008 dodge ram 1500 2wd

 

i think without notching you might run in to problems with bottoming out on occasion. but that depends on your driving habits, how saggy your leafs are... things like that, i would notch it just to be safe.

 

i dont know about the front since you already used the springs there was a guy selling some mcgaughs 2" drop spindles NIB here in tulsa for 200.00. you can clamp your leaf springs in the rear i think its good for 1-2 " and easy

 

what do you mean "clamp" your leafs?

 

im trying to find where i seen it but a guy put u-bolts and a solid plate on the bottom of the amd tighten the bolts compressing the leafs. and you leave it on there. instant drop. ill keep searching for the thread

 

"clamp them"?

 

here are some pics of what the guy did. i think some more research needs to be done for safety reasons but i have seen it done on our trucks a few times. this is the most recent

 

OH true... your just "clamping" them so they lay flat, i gotchya now.

 

Great Topic guys i Got a lot of great info out of it!!

Cant wait to drop my Truck this week i ordered the 2 Inch Drop shackles from Moe's.

I also have a friend who made some clamps and clamped his leaf springs and it added an extra 1-2 inch drop. I would also like to know how safe that would be to do.

Thanks!!

i think it would only be a problem for towing or hauling. isn't that where the leafs come into play? could you ask your friend if he has had any recourse
