this is WITHOUT the lift block?

jesus fuck, ford! lol

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Decided to take the blocks out of the rear for a slightly more level look, I think I’m actually going to drop the rear another 1.5” and drop the front 1-2” also

Bought 2” drop shackles and -1to-3 front beltech struts last night off amazon lol, dropped trucks has always been my thing

Yeah the rear fender started at 40” from the ground at the peak of the wheel well in the back it’s a pain in the ass to get in the bed on these things

Nice! Belltech has never let me down. Curious how you’ll like the struts. I’ve got 2” drop spindles but bilstein struts.

 

[EmersonHart13]

This is getting good, real good

 

[Yaj Yak]

Fuck, that’s real good.

that was the year i was fortunate enough to get to go, dude beat the ever living fuck out of that thing day in, day out the whole fucking week.

Well these look fairly well built, they can lift 1” or drop 1-3” in one inch increments, they were around 80 bucks each on amazon

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

I'm anxious to see what it looks like lowered. I sometimes wish I'd have dropped the rear instead of doing a leveling kit, and still might take that out and lower the rear when I get different wheels. All depends how it looks and which wheels I go with.

Are you keeping the factory wheels?

Yeah, maybe powder coat black but I’m not spending money on rims for this thing, I’m like $230 total on a 2-3 drop I’m just doing some cheap improvements right now

3”.....please 3”

I herd you have to notch some bolt holes to get it to align right if you go more than 2” I’ll look into it lol

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I’d say if you can’t get the rear 3” too then I’d stick to 2” up front.

The rear will be 3 I did 1” already and ordered 2” drop shackles

 

[1quick]

Just came out of menards parked next to a 2010ish 2500hd bed is the same height with my blocks removed fail lol needs lower

 

[EmersonHart13]

Well, what are you waiting for?

 

[1quick]

Well, what are you waiting for?

I don’t have all the parts yet lol

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I think 4” total in back with 2” up front would be good. 3” might be too raked

 

[1quick]

Yeah I’m going to measure the fender height and try to get it sitting flat I figured I’d need to drop the rear at least 1” more than the front

 

[EmersonHart13]

Rake is usually about 2" but 1.5" looks best. I think a hair of rake is good just in case. LIke if you transport your Bike

I’ll still pull a boat trailer but nothing that would squat the truck much at all

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Plus to me level actually looks like a bit of squat sometimes. I tried the Tahoe with 1” less in back and it’s damn near exactly the same wheel gap wise and it always looks ass saggy to me.
Also I doubt that truck would sag all that much with a dirt bike or two in the back at all since it’s stock springs all around.
