woooo we will see sir!!

it might be awhile til i can get the front done but well see, i may just adjust the shackles up a bit for the time being...idk

where did you order your shims from?

 

blackedout, do you already have hangers? well i guess explain what all setup you are really planning on doing and already have.

 

im currently running belltech 2" drop shackles and supercrew leafs (no height difference from stock tho)

i have 2 ground force drop shocks for the rear (pn 21330 or C041X2)
2 belltech shims (6 deg.)
2" belltech drop hangers

stock 4.6 v8 coils (probably going to cut 1 coil off until i can afford better springs)

is it possible to run stock shocks on the front with a 1-2 inch drop?
or will it ride so bad that itll mess stuff up?

 

quick question...a stupid one i know but i just want to make sure...


i need to install the shims with the thicker side faceing the front of the truck right..?
so the axle points up more right..?

 

got it figured out...

trucks now lower!
ill post pics and whatnot tomorrow!

 

pics or die !! lol

 

travisssssssssssssss we're waiting

 

lol sorry for the wait guys, i havent been at home since 7oclock saturday morning, pics are coming in an hour or so

 

Finally Lower

 

I assume you put the thicker side forward, but you probably would have been okay without any shims since you are lowering the front and back of the leafs evenly.

I think you have too much shim in it if you installed the 6* shims on a 2" hanger and 2" shackle setup

 

yeah derek looked up which way to put em in and gave me a call while i was workin on the drop (thanks for that btw!)

i think i may be over-shimmed too...i THINK im getting a slight vibration every once and awhile, but its hard to tell

i got 6* just cus thats what the guy i bought my stuff from used..idk

how is the rear of your silver truck dropped? and how much drop? and what shims are you using?
lol sorry for so many questions

 

I had 6* shims when i had only eibach 3" hanger installed.

then i added to 2" drop shackles for my 5" drop, and had 2* shims, and that wasnt enough (actually put a pinion angle gauge on the truck, so i went to 2.5* shims and it was perfect.

Its currently set at 1.5" drop on the shackles with 3" eibach hanger hole, for 4.5" drop so i have a little rake, and its still pleanty of shim in it.

 

they make a 3" hanger?
ghey i wish i knew that. oh well.

ive been trying to find someone in my area that i can get to check my pinion angle, but no luck yet.

so you think i should take out the shim and then if that doesnt work out try out about a 2.5* shim?

 

I would put stock shim back in until you can get a gauge on it. and just FYI factory shim is actually a shim, its a .5* shim

Im in the market for a pinion angle gauge, ill let you know if i pick one up.

and yes eibach makes an adjustable 2" or 3" hanger.

 

Yay! I think maybe the 2* might have been too much for me.....

I'm wondering if it might be something else, since I never had vibration before...then it just popped up one day....
