Does the front kit move the wheel centerline forward,... to center the wheels in the wheelwell opening?

bodydropped68 · 09-18-2013, 04:29 PM

That looks awesome what ride height do you end up with I know tire size will make it very also how tall of a tire can you use up front I'm using a 245-40/20 on my truck now will there still be room.

The ride height is approximately 4/6 drop from stock. We are running a 275/35/18 on the back and a 245/40/18 on the front. wheel and tire size will vary depending on offset.

does the above image work?
I can run out in a little while and get a more direct side shot

fastbagged68 · 09-25-2013, 03:54 PM

Is that with drop spindles?
What size is the tire?
What is the measurement from the front cab mount to ground?

Sorry for the questions, just trying to figure out if it will get me to where I want to be sitting

Looks like the wheel is in the stock/oem position.
About 3/4"-1" too far back in the wheel opening.
Just a thing I hate about these trucks.
(my opinion)
Porterbuilt and Hotchkis have addressed this.

Same question as bodydropped 68; Are the front kits lowering kits? Can they be used with drop spindles if you already have them, or do you need stock spindles?

this kit is designed using dropped spindles. in most cases you can use your dropped spindle if you already have one.

I'm assuming the ride height is adjustable?

Is the dampening of the shock adjustable too?

the kits are adjustable but they are designed for a lower stance. also, there is an option for nonadjustable, single adjustable, and triple adjustable shocks

Nice kits, even though it seems a bit pricey for me.

duallyjams · 09-20-2013, 04:50 PM

Does the drop spindle move the wheel out as other drop spindle do.

we use the cpp modular spindles with our kit so that it will work with a variety of different brake kits

Gggrrrrrrrrrrr!
Didn't I just ask about this on these trucks in another thread.
Maybe this is why they never replied to me.
I like it though.

Sorry I didn't see your prior post, but it is definitely here now!

I'm assuming these will cross over to square body 73-87-(91)trucks?

What's the ground clearance on them vs stock arms?
Factory ball joints used? And how does one mount sway bars?

We are getting ready to size the front up on the 73-87. I will keep you posted on the fitment.
They will use a factory style ball joints.
The arms are designed to utilize our sway bars.
