2/3-2/4

[JeremyReed]

i have a 2/3 ,drop spindles and shackles with blocks removed.is it really that noticable of a difference to spend the money on a flip kit to go down another inch to 4 or should i just get a 5" kit for the back?dont haul alot but may buy a boat so would look into air helpers if needed..showing 2" diff in front to back but have heard sometimes the 4" will bring it down level,dont wanna lower front anymore than it is now,thanks for info..

Just stick with the 2/3 for now. It's really not worth it to do a flip kit just to go 4. Shouldn't need helpers at all at that height.

What he said^^. I personally wouldn't mess with it until you're ready to go 6 in the rear. 2/3 as is should be perfectly fine to tow I'm 4/6 and mine puts in work without helpers.

Thinking of getting hangers to do a 5" flip, then back would sit level with front. They are adjustable hangers ,5,6

is my wife looking?

You won't be level at 2/5, you will have 1" of squat which is counterproductive when towing. If you bring the back down to 5, you need to bring the front down to 3.

you will have 1" of squat

Plz don't call it that lol. "Lean" is a much better word. Squat is related too much to those Carolina squat fgts and their trend. Imo.

A true 2/4 sits level. If you're dead set on being level, pull the overload leaf. You'll be within .5" of being level. Then you can add on some helpers if you need it for towing. It's just not worth the cost to get a true 4" drop in the rear on these trucks. I went through all of this last year, so I have a little bit of knowledge on the subject.

This may be a stupid question but which one on the springs is the overload

is my wife looking?

 

[DeanH1290]

It is the leaf on the bottom of the spring pack. Looks like a flat bar of steel.

We'll just blame it on autocorrect this time.

What Set of shocks would you recommend I put on the back of that.. also with the overload leaf gone will it cause the rear end to be bouncier?

On pretty much every truck I've dropped the truck never drops what it says it will. Generally with the back being higher. I'd say do 5" drop cause it's probably not going to be 5". As far as overload Springs I wouldn't pull them. I had a truck with em pulled before. It definitely affected the ride.

Yea i decided not to mess with springs..gonna maybe get the 5 " drop for rear and the belltech drop struts for the ftont and come down another inch if I need to compensate for the 5

Just wondering, if a 2/4 is true level,and I have a 2/3 now and I'm
1 3/4 higher in back will the 4" flip really bring it down level. ?
