Ram1989custom Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yeah, I just don't have the tools to do too much modification if I don't have to. I heard you can flip the front hangar for the leaf springs and it will drop it 1.5 to 2 inches, just gotta drill holes. 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 They are lift/lowering blocks. You put them on one side of the axle it lifts, the other side of the axle lowers 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...
Ram1989custom Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Or on the leaf spring I mean, lol not axle. On either side of the leaf spring.

Airborne Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 if you use those block the way the axle/spring are, you are going to lift it. In order to lower it you need to bring the axle closer to the frame. The blocks go between the axle and leaf, right now they will make the axle further from the frame, this will make the truck higher. if the axle were on top of the leafs the blocks being between them would bring the axle closer to the frame lowering it. I hope that make sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
