static drop question

If you'll be in the TO area

I like pulling the 2 middle leafs and putting in a 2" block in the back and cranking the torsions to match in the front I rode mine like that for about a year and a half until I got bags and it rode quite nice actually oh and I was running 16" wheels with 205/40/16 if that matters

BACK IN THE DAY I RAN 195/50-14'S ON MY STOCK WHEELS, CRANKED THE TORTION BARS DOWN, AND RAN 3" BLOCKS IN THE REAR, & TOOK OUT THE LOAD SPRING. YOU WILL NEED NEW SHOCKS & A FRONT END ALIGNMENT TO KEEP FROM WEARING OUT THE TIRES.

$20 FOR BLOCKS
$15 FOR U-BOLTS
$30 EA. A SHOCK ($120 TOTAL)
$60 FOR ALIGNMENT
@$350 FOR TIRES

$565 TOTAL IT WILL HANDLE BETTER, AND STILL BE DRIVEABLE TOO.

Yeah they are 15"x7"...can't tuck them if you wanted to lol. 205/50/15's in front and 215/65/15's in the rear. 3" blocks and all springs in the rear, and the front twisted like 15 rounds if I'm correct. The number of rounds depends on how high your truck is stock.

The las pics on my Cardomain site are how low I went by going monoleaf in the rear and the front torsions cranked somewhere around 20-24 rounds . Road like crap most of the time lol, cuz I banged metal to metal on most bumps.

I don't suggest removing rear leaves if you want the best ride possible, and still use your truck for hauling stuff. LEA VE YOUR REAR BUMP STOPS IN! That way if you overload the rear, it'll just ride on the bumpstops which is quite comfortable with a heavy load I hauled 20 12'ft leangths of split rail and 10 split rail 6' posts about 10 miles riding on the bumpstops ...before I had my airshocks. Was a rather comfy ride tbh.

This is about as low as you can go and still really have a good ride:



I was actually on my bumpstops here, so you can figure you'd have about 2.5" - 3" of full suspension still this low.

On this pic:



I had removed the stops and came down probably another inch. I still had a good ride, but big bumps hurt ...which with the bumpstops out, there's nothing there to hit cept metal to metal, and it wasn't really that bad 99% of the time.

When I completely slammed it, really just the rear was different, by removing the leaves, it sucked. It wasn't completely terrible, but I got tired of it rather quickly both times I went that low. Both times, I ended up raising the truck back to stock hieght...which is where I am right now, and don't plan on going back down. I enjoy taking my truck down any road and bumps not scaring me at all , heck I enjoy bumps now...the bigger the better
