[jwgeorge]

One more picture of my 4/6, with 28-inch O.D. 235/75-15 tires.

HERE IS MINE!! 4.5" and a 5", I want another 1.5" static lower yet

[lolife99]

Got any better pics of your inner tie rods.
Looks like something is assembled wrong.
I just can't tell.

[Jarwood]

not from that angle but have these.

[lolife99]

Looks ok from that angle.
Have you driven your truck since you lowered the front?
It may just need to settle or the spring may not be exactly in place on the high side.
Was it level before you cut it?

[Jarwood]

what can I do to get the passenger side rear down 1 inch?

[Jarwood]

I have driven the truck about 25 miles since cutting the coils

[Jarwood]

This was the ride height before cutting the coils.

old 6 cyl springs 3/4 of a coil cut on front 3" drop rear

Jarwood - check the coil spring on the high side. Did you position (what I call index) the coil back into the lower a arm correctly? There is a possibility if the last turn on the bottom of the coil is just sitting in that pocket incorrectly, in could cause your leaning situation. Its easy to get that spring in there after its cut but there is a certain way it needs to sit in there.

I double checked and it looks to be sitting in the correct place. The front of the truck is dead even at 29". The rear is the problem and I have not touched the rear, however it always set uneven in the back. I have lower blocks but do not want to use them until I level the rear of perfect. I was just wonder if there is something I can do to level it out before lowering the rear??

I would remove the rear springs.
They are either sagging originals or torched originals.
(got any pics of them?)
Either way,... It would be a good time to install new springs.
I bet stock rear springs would raise the back of your truck WAY up.
Lowering blocks are a cheap way to lower the back.
Or a way to get your truck lower than 6" of drop.
I would install the spring you want first.
Check with www.performanceonline.com for drop rear springs and related components.
They have a sale going on now also.

Good time for some drop coils in the rear?

So do you think the springs are original? What size springs (drop) in the rear should I buy to match the front? I like the front at 29 inches for now. Maybe in the future I will put bags on...of course its all about money.

[Jarwood]

What would the cost be to put in air bags in the rear??? Maybe just the bags and adjust them to the height I like. Any suggestions on where to buy them? Also I am guessing a schrader valve is to fill the bag up at desired height and the valve keeps the bag at that height??

20x10 rears with 295/40's and 18x8 front can't remember my front tire size for some reason...

What are your wheel and tire specs? great looking truck. Just bought a truck with similar drop. I think it sits to low but your truck looks great.
