I'm picking up a 2016 regular cab/short bed 4x4 next week. I want to drop the rear 3" and the front 1" or2". I'm noticing 1-2" drop rear spring shackles and I'm wondering if they can be used in conjunction with removal of the 1" axle spacer to achieve 3" in the back.

 

I have the same thing on order and wonder the same thing!

 

Yes.

I did a 2012 Platinum with 2wd struts, remove block and shackle install

Thanks, didn't know if they'd be the same as the older ones, I know that Crown, DJM, etc... have a different lowering kit for the 15/16's.

 

I believe the shocks (comparing 09-14 to 15/16) are different, but as long as you stayed with 15/16 factory parts you should be fine too

 

So if I do the block delete and shackles, I should be able to go 2" or 3"? Then shorter springs in front to get 2" ?

 

I'd go factory 2wd struts up front. Keep your factory springs

Rear 2wd shocks are optional depending on how much drop you do

Block delete (order 2wd u bolts) qty 4 u bolts

2" sackle install.



Should net you 2/3 or just shy

 

Thanks, Patman. Exactly what I needed.

 

Now get down to business
