jack Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 if it has the overload you can flip it and mount it on top of the springs, use c-clamps to smash it flat enough to re assymble. wah la! 2-4 inches of drop. well that is how i remember doing it 15 yrs ago Quote http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=29213 "sleeper build" (1) DC AUDIO Level4XL 10 (2) PowermasterD2700 batteries ALL FOR SALE TEAM DC AUDIO TEAM DIRTFLOORPOOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodyB Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) A few options. You can take the spring mount on the frame and break off the rivets and weld the hanger up higher on the frame so the axle is closer to the frame. If you are willing to spend 40ish dollars go to Advance Auto Parts or O'Reilly and buy a drop shackle kit that replaces the stock shackle to lower the rear with a simple change of a few parts. The way I would NOT do it is heat the springs with a torch until it sags low enough to your liking. You will lose suspension and ride integrity. Its just a bad Idea...

I remember putting a jackstand under the axal. loosening the U-bolts nuts enough to get the overload up over the little notch and sliding it out. Sometimes you could actually just slide it on top of the other leafs and re-bolt it back up. : Quote [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
