Lowered

Okay, I've finally decided it's time for the blowtorched springs to come out. PO slammed it that way and I am getting sick of the ride. I have been searching for the night and now need some opinion.
I don't know how low the truck is now, maybe you can see from the avatar. But I would like to come up a little bit. I was thinking either a 3/5, a 3/4, or a 2/4. I found a few pictures, but maybe if someone has the combos listed and had some pictures it would help me decide.
Any and all comments would be welcomed, just want some opinions before I purchase.

Thank you!!

Re: Lowered

Sitting on level ground measure the frame at any one of the locations shown on the diagram and it should give you the drop that you currently have. Once you know what you have you can get an idea of where you want to go but you have to have a starting point before you order the wrong springs.

Re: Lowered

Thanks for that diagram, that will help alot.
I know I have seen them around and I tried searching for all words I could think of, I even just went page by page for a bit. I will give it another try though.

Thanks

Re: Lowered

Well I went ahead and ordered the 5" kit for the back. The front will have to stay for now, money is always an issue. But when I get the rest I think I will go with the 3" up front. I like how it sits, and after my blowtorched springs come out of the back I'm sure it will ride so much better. Plus with the new shocks, relocators, and track bar...I can't wait.
