Ram1989custom Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hey guys. I have already lowered my truck 2 inches in the rear, and I need to lower it another 2 inches to complete the 2/4 drop. I was just wondering what I can do that is inexpensive (preferably something I can do without buying parts) to lower it 2 more inches. I have 2" drop shackles already. I'm just now learning about this stuff, more of a body/paint/motor kinda kid haha. Thanks in advance!

Airborne Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 is the leaf on the top of the axle? If so, put the axle on the leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram1989custom Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yeah, they are on top of the axle. If I flip it to under the axle, how low would it put me at?? 1989 Dodge D150, 318 LA; Holley Fuel InjectionBuild Log:http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/72838-dc-dodge-d150-blowthrough-thread-updated-pics-fixed-2-level-4-15s-wlvl-5-coils/Truck Add-ons: 20" rims2/4 drop15% tintBucket seatsK&N air filterSmog Pump deleteStereoWORK IN PROGRESS2 DC Level 4 15s with Level 5 Coils1 Audiopipe AP15001D (Soon to be a Crescendo BC3500)JBL 650W amp (unsure of model)4 6x9 Rockford Prime 3 ways2 Soundstream TWS.4 Dome tweetersKnuKonceptz 1/0 Power Wire *3 Kinetik 2400s and a Mechman 270A alt in the future* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 it will lower it as much as the axle is wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram1989custom Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 So a little less than 4 inches, right? Is there any other recommended ways to lower it other than dropping it 4 inches then raising my spindle up to stock height? lol 1989 Dodge D150, 318 LA; Holley Fuel InjectionBuild Log:http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/72838-dc-dodge-d150-blowthrough-thread-updated-pics-fixed-2-level-4-15s-wlvl-5-coils/Truck Add-ons: 20" rims2/4 drop15% tintBucket seatsK&N air filterSmog Pump deleteStereoWORK IN PROGRESS2 DC Level 4 15s with Level 5 Coils1 Audiopipe AP15001D (Soon to be a Crescendo BC3500)JBL 650W amp (unsure of model)4 6x9 Rockford Prime 3 ways2 Soundstream TWS.4 Dome tweetersKnuKonceptz 1/0 Power Wire *3 Kinetik 2400s and a Mechman 270A alt in the future* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram1989custom Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 No, but the shackles I have now looks like I can adjust it. 1989 Dodge D150, 318 LA; Holley Fuel InjectionBuild Log:http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/72838-dc-dodge-d150-blowthrough-thread-updated-pics-fixed-2-level-4-15s-wlvl-5-coils/Truck Add-ons: 20" rims2/4 drop15% tintBucket seatsK&N air filterSmog Pump deleteStereoWORK IN PROGRESS2 DC Level 4 15s with Level 5 Coils1 Audiopipe AP15001D (Soon to be a Crescendo BC3500)JBL 650W amp (unsure of model)4 6x9 Rockford Prime 3 ways2 Soundstream TWS.4 Dome tweetersKnuKonceptz 1/0 Power Wire *3 Kinetik 2400s and a Mechman 270A alt in the future* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 hmm, looks like your shock mount is right under the spring, my 51 is the same way, the u-bolts hold it on. I don't think my idea will work without some fab work to mount the shocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
