2/4 drop Fort Worth Texas

Anyone know of any experts at installing a 2/4 drop on the 72 1/2 ton long bed on the Fort Worth side of the Metroplex?

I saw a thread on here where i can get all the parts for under $400.

I think a 4/6 will be too extreme for my tastes.

As you can see from the picture to the left she is sitting pretty high now.

Thanks, Jeff

2-4 drop is straightforward to install. I have done a ton of them.

Re: 2/4 drop Fort Worth Texas

Low inc, is located near traders village. I have heard good things about their work.
Infamous air, in Kennedale is also another place.

What all did you get for the 400.00? I was told that it would cost nearly 600.00 for 2/4 drop. That included spindles, shocks and springs

There you go.

I did the ECE kit. Great service. There was an issue with the front springs and ended up sending them back and going with DJM front springs from Summit.

Short story, ECE is a first class operation. I would do business with them again. You can search my previous posts if you want the long story.
