youre right, thats what i think most people that go that route feel like, if i do switch out my springs ill be close though, 2.5'' spindle and a 2''spring

What's the problem with 3" springs, is it ride quality?

The ride quality is fine, but combined with my spindles, its just a bit much for a DD around here, my A arms scrape at every speed bump.

3r!c84 · 06-05-2010, 10:11 PM

how low are you from ground to Aarms

joe1982 · 06-06-2010, 07:06 PM

this low

joelsdelone · 06-06-2010, 07:20 PM

looking sick man. i would let it ride. thanks for your service btw.

silvereagle07 · 06-07-2010, 11:32 AM

My truck sits the same way. You just have to dodge or slow down on speed bumps. Watch out for man hole covers.

Justin36 · 06-07-2010, 03:06 PM

Looks Great.. Nice Job

justpball · 06-07-2010, 03:14 PM

looks tits bro! I would just drop the back 1in lower and go from there

joe1982 · 06-07-2010, 04:25 PM

Thanks for the kind words fellas, I'm on duty today, so tomorrow I'm going to try and leave work to finish up the rear. Ill post some pics

joe1982 · 06-08-2010, 09:29 AM

I have one, just haven't thrown it in yet.

Baron · 06-08-2010, 10:10 AM

That can help some with your scraping some if the sway bar is on.
Without it if you hit a bump offcenter at all the truck will tend to rock side
side more and might cause more suspension compression on one side
and then you bottom the A-arm of frame out.
Now if your just that low your going to scape if you go straight over a speedbump then its the ole go over them at an angle routine.
Have had to do that alot myself on my SCCA solo two autocross street driver.

joe1982 · 06-08-2010, 08:25 PM

lowered the rear today, total of an inch and some change. im sitting at about a 5ish 7ish. i only have about 3inches of clearance out back!! so i am getting on summit and getting me a notch kit righht meow!

kvn1011 · 06-08-2010, 08:56 PM

atopper · 06-08-2010, 09:29 PM

looks great!

lo72 · 06-12-2010, 09:24 AM

Joe1982 truck for truck, i believe you have one of the best sitting truck on this board without the high dollar alloy wheels and exotic suspensions, don't get me wrong they are all sharp rides. So tell me what would you do different to get this look? I recall you talking about bottoming out is this still a problem or just something you have to deal with? how did you drop the rear? All in all this is one sharp truck! Where did you get the goodyear tires in a 295?
