Is there a 5/7 drop kit available for these trucks? I read pat mans thread but I'm not sure what products he used to achieve this drop. Any help would be appreciated.

if you or a friend is good at welding and measurments id just bag it lol

the front is limited. coils, control arms, and spindles are you only options. the rear is a bit more open. shackles, hangers, and leafs, or even do a flip kit. but yes, a 5/7 drop is realistic..

So up front how would you obtain the 5" drop? Do 2" drop spindles plus 2" coils give you a total of 4" drop? Or are 2" coils used with 2" drop spindles to obtain 2" and ride quality? Just a little lost on how ppl add different drop spindles and arms and coils etc. To achieve certain drops. Just looking to be taught a bit about drops. Thanks

Patrick is running a 3" Eibach Pro coil and 2" Belltech LCAs up front

In the rear he has 2"/3" Eibach adjustable drop hangers, 2" Belltech drop shackles, and 99-02 Lightning leaf springs (2-2.5")

Shoot me a message or give me a call. I can come up with something for you.

FYI for other members we can do a 5/7 this way

Just remember on 20"+ wheels can be used with drop spindles

Minimum wheel size is 18"

there is also alot of "trimming" needed up front to clear in the fender wells with a 5" drop

FYI for other members we can do a 4/6 this way

What about the ball joint angles after a drop spindle? Is it not better to drop doing upper lower control arms?

I've always preferred spindles because of bushings. If I remember correctly DJM doesn't use a stock bushing for their control arms.

So ball joint angles are not an issue using drop spindles?
