Herbs Washers

Currently have a ground force 1/2 drop and am going lower with W.C. arms up front and eibach hangers in rear for a 3/5 drop. Trying to figure out what all I need. Where can I get the washers? Besides that do I need new front and/or rear sway bar endlinks?

Here's a link to tell you where to get the stainless clunk washers - mine just went in the mail yesterday.

Yes, you should adjust the endlinks after lowering, or the effectiveness of your sway bars will be comprimised. (Check Tim's site for where to get which ones - very good info.)

if you are changing the lower control arms up front, i don't think you will need the clunk washers.

So it's two washers... one goes on the inside of the frame towards the LCA, and the other is on the outside where the head of the bolt is?

I'm not sure if David Lynn is still doing the s/s clunk washers. But here's some info. on where to get some. This is a response to an email I sent Metco Motorsports about their clunk washers (I believe they're billet aluminum, can't remember).

"Yes, Steve we do still sell the clunk washers, the retail price is $25.00 + shipping. You can call 864-332-5929 to order.......Thanks Aaron"

JeffsLightning NICE TRUCK!! I love the color!

What do you all reccomend for a 3/4 drop???? how much am I looking at for a good kit utilizing the stock wheels and tires, and not going too much over 1000$?????

I have eyes on a Hotchkis kit, but don't know much about lowering trucks as I used to lift them

Thanks in advance....

Ryan

Thanks for the heads up. That's why I like asking questions and reading up on things here before I make a purchases (whatever the product may be). You get good feedback and info. here.

Thanks Again,

Steve
