Alright after extensive reading of lowered suspension, flip kits, axle wrap...etc. I have narrowed down my idea of a nice lowered setup that hopefully will ride nice and work. But your opinions are more than welcomed.

Lowering Kit
McGaughy's MMC-97012 $549.95 (2''front-4''rear drop)
Consist of Front Coils and Rear leaf Springs

Also while changing the Suspension I’m going ahead and changing my Stock Shocks.

Shocks:
Bilstein BE5-2478-HI $79.99(Each) Front
Bilstein Be5-2479-HI $79.99(Each) Rear

Also in the process is a Trac Bar Setup, starting to fab 1 up so I can deal with the Axle Wrap problem.

Also I already have a groundforce drop Shackle installed on the truck(#91200) If I Leave this on, will I have a total of a 6 inch drop in the rear? Or can I just move the bolt on the shackle down 1 hole and have a total of 5'' drop in the rear?

I really like the leafs over flip kits. I know that the new leafs wont be as strong over stock but I think with an adequate trac bar setup I should be good.

I posted earlier about working on a N20 setup but got sidetracked and now im working on the suspension aspect of the truck. Its just never stops with this truck, its like crack.

 

I put the McGaughy's kit on and love it however, I wish it was a tad bit (1") lower on all corners. If it was lower the rear bump stops would be hammering all the time. Anyhow, whats with the trackbar. I'm expieriencing some axle wrap from initial starts. I talked to Mike McGaughy directly and his comment was that there is nothing that can be done. Is your track bar mod what I'm looking for. Fabrication on my part is no problem. I'm listening.

Thanks

 

i've been doing alot of searches about suspension and that how i found out about about the axle wrap problems lowered guys were having. I just typed traction bars on the search and about 3 pages of info popped up. Thats were i got my ideas for the traction bars, there are a couple of guys on here who have fabbed up their own bars, i will start working on mines this week, well atleast mock up.

Are you hitting your bumpstop constant? If so then i guess im gonna have to trim them.
