Alright guys, i have a 28 foot motorhome that i tow with my 08 hemi 1500. Do you think that thats still to much to do a 2/4 drop? i dont know how it affects towing, but in my head i just feel like it wouldnt work. What do the experts say?
When you do the rear flip kit you may lose some of your towing payload. Might wanna check into "helper bags". They are a must for people who still wanna use their trucks, but be lowered as well.
I did the Ground Force 2.5 and 4 rear and my bump stops hit all the time. So I ordered a Air-Ride bag setup with individual inlets, now I have removed the bump stops. I move some boats around with 1000 to 1500 lb tongue weights. Also I love the ride over stock.
yeah just buy helper bags and you'll be fine....and nevernuff you should have gotten different b.stops with your kit they are smaller....
Yes I did and after a year I still din't get around to installing them. I'm driving to Florida for the month of march so I might have them in my junk box just in case. Thanks for the reminder, its just too wet and cold right now.

What air bag setup did you use? I have the firestone setup on my truck and I just installed a 4" drop. The bottom mount for the air bag used to attach to the top of the leaf spring, now that the leaf spring is underneath the mount is all crooked.
I think my drive shaft is now crooked, I am getting a vibration when I drive, does any one know how to align it correctly?

Thanks.
You may have to install shims between the spring and axle to get the pinion angle right. I try to get the imaginary line of the transmission shaft and the pinion line to be parallel to one another. This way the difference of angle is split evenly between the two ujoints.
