    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    I got an 8" drop one around here somewhere...if the shorty I have on there now doesn't lift it back up enough. The trailer is low-slung with a rise at the tongue. Having a low hitch point makes matters worse. At stock height...the trailer bottom was pretty much level. Sounds like I might...

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    It wasn't a case of sagging...it was a case of the trailer hitch bar being a 2-3" drop one plus the 4" I lowered the rear. Now the bar is flipped the other way...so at least the hitch ball is back even with the bumper. All I am towing is a 1500# capacity 5x8 trailer...and I can load it so to...

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    Looks a lot like my setup...except I stopped at a 2/4 drop. It sits dead level and is plenty low enough for my taste. I just had to flip my trailer hitch...first time I have towed since I lowered it, and the trailer tongue rest was almost hitting the ground. But it tows fine still...

    ***** Any 2" / 4" lowers trucks out there???? ******

    Yep...but that's what helps keep the near stock ride quality. The progressive Moogs load up nicely when they compress. Most impressive change is that the truck stays almost flat under heavy braking...no more nose dive. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Low buck TBI truck Cams

    Clearly...you know everything about what runs in everything, so I will bow to your infinite wisdom and bow out of this conversation. And you know...you are 100% right about a marine cam working well with EFI. Of course it would...since marine cams have little or no overlap.

    Low buck TBI truck Cams

    As I said in my original post...overlap is the issue. Less lobe separation generally leads to more overlap if the cam is of higher duration.

    Low buck TBI truck Cams

    111, 112...so close it probably doesn't make a difference. Try a 106-108 cam...the story will be drastically different.

    Low buck TBI truck Cams

    This...100% truth. A lumpy cam in a low-compression engine = a DOG when driven on the street. I plan on building a 406 to replace my aging 350...but even then, it will have a mild cam that taps out about 5400 rpms. But the 406 will produce something like 450-460hp and 500-520ft-lbs with my...

    Any?? SBC 400

    This is my plan when and if the stock 350 on my 1992 RCSB goes south. I'd probably start with the Dart block and go from there. Dart fixes the oiling system issues in their blocks. Plan as it stands is to build a TPI fed 406 with an emphasis on low-midrange power. Sent from my XT1254 using...

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    An update on the brake cable issues. I looked at the front cables and determined a couple of things: 1. The cable at the pedal was slightly bound. Fixed that. 2. And I believe the cable under the cab just needs a huge adjustment to work just fine. The adjuster rod has plenty of room to...

    The stance of that looks like the stance of my truck before I lowered it...except the nose was lower and the butt was higher on mine...[emoji21] Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    Mine is similar...my truck is a 2-owner (me...and my FIL before me) original paint (what's left of it) truck. It was originally a courtesy vehicle for the 1992 Buick Open here in ATL. Even now it only has 133K at 28 years old. My FIL retired from the Doraville GM plant in the parts hub...the...

    Thanks! Completion of a vision... I've owned the truck for almost 15 years. I always wanted to do it this way. And it's finally done...err...almost done. I really had little choice on the leafs. The only rusty parts on the whole truck. Plus the OEM rubber bushings were completely wasted...
