going to lower my dually - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Matt Man · 05-13-2010, 06:08 PM

well i have a change of plans with my truck im just gonna lower it i was planning on doing the 6/8.5 drop but im not pulling inner fenders. i would like to do a 4/7. i know i can do 3 inch drop spindles and cut the coils in the front. but i cant figure out how to get 7 inches of drop in the back, i can do shackles hangars and take 3 leafs out but that will only get me to 6. Do they sell a 5inch flip kit? i was looking and found nothing.

Also how much of the coil will i have to cut?

Here is what my truck looks like now:

I dont think you'd wanna cut that much coils id suggest bags and cup your lower control arms..im not familar but know enough to not cut 3 inches worth of coils...

I think its 1/2 a coil for every inch or maybe its two im not 100% positive but sure someone will correct it.

the running boards look awsome, your dually remindes me of the duallys in the mid 80s out in cali towing all the drag boats.

RunninLo that dually is sick, do you have a build thread or more info on how you got to that stance.

MattMan hows your lowering going?
