Ok, Greetings to all, I have read a lot about 4X4 TRUCK LOWERING, there are many products from different companies, that if DJM, Belltech, etc, and very few with the air system, (RIDETECH) but, for those without experience I, raising many questions, especially when I have my truck with Whipple supercharger and what i am, besides looks, is to significantly increase control and stability, both straight and in curves, ie, seek a significant return my new suspension. So the kit is better tires or mechanical kit? , There is someone named JetPilot having a WATTS LINKAGE, this system is so effective at increasing control, handling and stability? I understand that a system would assist the lowering truck, or something even better, compared with RIDETECH which is a Bolt-On 4-Link System and promote it as very good. Which I will get the best performance, which lasts longer. to which I give less maintenance? . If I have OEM wheels 17 "and want to go to 20" or 22 ", what should be the offset and backspace not to contact, so that it is inside the fender and not have any problems, I could not find any reading on the forums this information, I should only have about 6 "backspace and 40 mm OFFSET but, what is the ideal? . I have all these questions, who can help, both to me and to others in the future. Thank you.

 

What year is your truck?
I just lowered my 08 4x4 with 3" front beltech coils and 4" in back by removing the 2" blocks and adding 2" lowering shackles. I am running 23x10 wheels with a 30mm offset and 305 40 23 tires. I don't think I could go any lower without having rubbing issues. I have about 500 miles on the drop and have yet to touch. I also think this is due to the lowering springs being stiffer than stock and allowing for less travel. However it does drive and handle real good, definitly much stiffer than stock, there is a tradeoff.

 

It is 2007 and, after having read many post I think the most I would go is with wheels 22 ", yesterday certainly saw some liquid chrome Roush wheels forged that are lighter than the 20", it to reduce dead weight and not go to a very large size wheel. Now, you say it does not handle as well because it is so hard? I think it also affects the size of the tire, to be the smallest camera damping decreases and thus becomes "hard" suspension, hence my question regarding the diameter of the tires.

 

Watts doesnt do anything to lower the vehicle, it just keeps the axle centered under the truck at all times

 

Yes, I agree that the system is not to diminish Watts up, I want to know from you, who are lowering trucks is which system to get more control and stability, with the air system or mechanical system? . When the system mentioned Watts, compared with the benefits you can get with the 4-Link, but as for control and stability, not lowering truck.

 

pat... youve been hitting up some old threads... Also, op did you get it done?
