Does lowering the truck void the factory warranty ? I would like to lower mine.

 

what year of truck? how much do you wan't to lower it???

most warranties are voided if the modification causes the breakage, the dealer has to prove it and you have to prove that the mod didn't cause breakage.

I wouldn't do more than rear shackles on a warrantied truck (looks good and is easy to return to stock)

 

I have a 07 and would like to drop it 2-3 inches.

 

one thing I never understood with you guys who lower trucks.. Why do some of you keep the step bars and running boards on your trucks after lowering it? Lol it's low enough to not need it and just clutters up the truck imo.

 

Not trying to steal your thread but I was looking into lowering the rear of my truck using two inch drop shakels. I was just wondering if their were an adherent problems with this mod like rougher riding or something else. Whats the difference between using the hangers and shakels and just using the shakels? I also read in another thread where you have to relocate the shock mounts? Whats this for?

 

if i drop it 2-3 in the rear do i need the shock exstions

 

my wife needs them to get in and out of the truck, with the harley truck she can barely get in out without help

 

f i drop it 2-3 in the rear do i need the shock exstions

 

you shouldn't, but if they start binding then yes you will

 

Just get new shocks from a known drop company.

 

yeah i put some djm calmax on my chevy and man that truck was rididng rough

 

im dropped 3/5 with stock lightning shocks so its like a 2/3 drop on a lightning with no extensions. The rears are just about maxxed out on their travel

this is with 300lbs in the bed

 

also when i lower it 2 in the rear i not going to have to do any cutting or do they just go right in. on my gmc i had to do some cutting on the bed supports

 

no 2" shackle is a direct bolt in
