Lowering the rear of 2002 1500 extended cab
I am wanting to lower the rear of my truck with new leaf springs. The reason for new springs is that the left one sags and the truck tilts to that side, looking for recommended suppliers to get them from.
I am only wanting to go 3" at the most and it also will I still be able to use the electric control shocks ? Thanks for your input and time. Wally Last edited by SIXTY9; 03-18-2024 at 09:57 AM. |

Very few if anyone uses lowering leaf springs so you won't get much advice. 3" should still be able to use factory length shocks, its right at the tipping point.

Tom thanks for the info. In my findings I have concluded that replacing the factory leaf spring with stock ones and using lowering blocks is the way I will have to go.
