alright guys we have all seen the Ground Force kit and the DJM parts etc... now im looking for some simple 2"-2.5" drop springs or even better some spindles! i havent found any. then i was thinking since i already have the 2" drop shackles i could add some 2" lowering blocks if i could even find them. any help in this matter would be appreciated guys

 

I'm going to buy H&R springs lowering kit
p/n 51608 but they said another 4 weeks before they can deliver.
I don't think lowering blocks work, the axle is under the springs.
the H&R kit is supposed to lower 2 inches front (springs) and 3-4" rear (shackles)
I'm going to go with some 22" wheels after it is lowered.

I'm also looking to slightly lower my 04 FX4.
I'm starting by removing the stock 4X4 2" blocks.
Then when it is available (Was told in a couple months) I want to go for the H&R coil over system. As I'm looking for a 1" drop in the front a to level the rear to match.

Anyone have luck on sway bars?

I'm thinking of these (www.bozeforged.com) 20" rims.

I have a set of BOZE Stinger 6 Brushed 22s should be done next week. Had a set of 20" Stixx 6 on my Dakota and loved them, they are great company to deal with. (good price on the tires too)

I went with the Air Ride Tech Air Bar in rear and Shock Waves in the front, 3" lower in front, 5" in back at ride height and can go down another 3". Every thing in garage floor waiting for wheels and the controll panel for the air ride to install it.

 

how much was that setup dude?

 

Depending on which air valve and compressor system you go with you will spend between $3500 and $4500. The high end being with automatic level control.

 

ouch thats too much for me. but its worth it!

 

still waiting on lowering kit for my truck
I want either H&R's 51608 kit or preferably
hotchkis lowering. H&R is supposed to be available soon, I will try to call them tomorrow again. Hotchkis not until late summer or fall. Wonder what the problem is.

Hothckis is available for shipping in about 2 weeks and the H&R kit wont be available till probably June and ill be going with that kit most likely.

 

What's the best way to lower just the rear to make it sit level with the factory front on a 4X2??

What parts and where to get them?? Thanks for the help...

 

i added the DJM 2" lowering shackles and im interested in learning about this "block removal"

 

You're a poser for doing that!

I talked to hotckis end of last week and the said late summer early fall before their lowering springs will be available. who told you 2 weeks? I'll put my order in with anyone with a decent discount and that can promise me delivery time.
