Default How Low

Alright well I'm dropping it. It's FINAL! lol. I've made the decision! but I was wondering exactly how low I would be with 2" spindles 2" springs and a 4 " block in the back. (Maybe remove leaf spring ) But yea with that setup on the stock Xtreme suspension without the spring removal where would that put me? like how far off the ground? Also with the leaf spring removal. Help me please? I just wanna get a rough idea of where I'll be! lol

I would not do a 4" block or pull a leaf. 3" block is as big as I would go. Pull the bumpstops for more clearance. I recommend a c-notch too.

You can only go so low with a static drop and still be safe. If you want to go lower I recommend an air set-up.

Cost is not too bad if you just do an air-over-leaf set-up for the rear. Mine was expensive due to the custom 4-link.

My friend Bryan ran an air-over-leaf with just one leaf and was just about as low as me.


Only thing you'd be saving money on vs. a static drop is the springs and blocks. Still need spindles and drop shocks.

Get the air-over-leaf from Air Ride. For the rest of your air management system (tank, compressor, valves, etc.) go to www.suicidedoors.com

Best prices around.
