    Lowering a 4x4

    Well its your truck, but I have extreme doubts your gonna get lower then digginZ71 or other members on this forum whom have lowered 4x4's. I think you have a lot of work ahead of you in regards to modifying the frame to achieve what you want, and still the ball-joint and tie rod angles are going...

    Lowering a 4x4

    I read your prior post, and Im curious why you wouldn't just flip your keys should net you 5" drop and keep it 4x4? I think your going to create far far far more work for yourself then its worth honestly. There is little to no gain to be had by converting it to a 2WD in my opinion anyway. I'm...

    Traction aid

    Clamped the leaf springs...will test it out next week see if it really made any difference but it did drop the back some...I'm digging the stance

    Traction aid

    Yeah I've been researching on and off all day I'm gonna attempt to clamp the leaf springs. It looks as though its just on the front of the leaf spring clamp the overload to the spring pack. It makes sense that it would help prevent axle wrap or wheel hop...I'll get it done after work today and...

    Traction aid

    I've considered doing a flip kit, but I really don't want to c-notch my frame honestly. I would never achieve the drop I have without so I'm stuck spring over sadly.

    Traction aid

    Those would work fantastic....I can absolutely weld, but I moved about a year ago and I'm still in a rental with no shop. So it's a good option long term, but I'm looking for a quick short term fix for the time being.

    Traction aid

    So I've been doing some reading, and thats a dangerous thing....I know, but I've been throwing around the idea of getting some traction bars for my truck. I don't really want a slapper, and I don't see a frame mounted traction bar working as a cheap fix either. I'm guessing my options will be...

    How to lower a 4x4 truck?

    https://www.gmt400.com/threads/improved-handling.66511/ best thing would be to read through this thread I posted here outlines a parts list

    Improved handling

    I don't I believe they are a 2 degree shim they where super minimal. They are the shim belltech suggests for a 4" rear drop. My driveshaft angles perfect with these and my 5" rear drop, but I also kept my 5 leaf spring packs. If your doing 4" rear drop with a 4 leaf spring pack you'll likely...

    Improved handling

    I purchased the base lowering kit I started with from here https://thedropshop.ca/ I just used the shim kit they provided when they sent it out

    Improved handling

    With 4WD may be different, but my advice if drag racing is your goal activity...I would do what your planning with a 4 leaf 1500 spring pack rear swaybar and completely ditch the front swaybar or find a way to quick disconnect...my truck consistently spins both back tires now on a launch with...

    Improved handling

    Ive had the BFG radial T/A on for less then a month, but I really like them? Multiple reviews I read online stated the BFG was the better tire so for the extra $400 thats the route I went. If Im being entirely honest I didnt want to do the BFG or the Cooper I wanted the Mickey Thompson Sportsman...

    Improved handling

    The cooper's were cheaper, but I like the BFG tread pattern and the look of BF-Goodrich in raised white letters on the sidewalls. Most all reviews that I read state the BFG is the better performance tire...the tire itself is fantastic the only thing working against me is the tall sidewall which...

    Improved handling

    So I read the opposite BFG was more the "performance" tire then the cooper's ‍lol oh well...I'm 2" drop hangers and a 3" drop shackle but I can definitely snap a pic next time I've got the tires off
