lower or lift..
im on the fence about lowering my dually idk if i wanna lower it for now tell i can straight axle it. i really want it a 4x4. but also wanna lower it while i drive it aroud. Whats the easy way to get it lower for now? i dont have money for spindles and have a set of 3/4 ton coils and i already know what to do with the back. right now it has a set of 3" coil spacers, would i be able to lift it again if i lower it?

Re: lower or lift..
i think once i find a drw dana 60 im gonna go all out with the sas and do coil overs with 4link in front and bag 4link kit in back, i have accsess to a truck shop who builds that kinda stuff so they can help, or i might just bag it and lay the frame but im more into being tall ad being able to go mudding

Re: lower or lift..
Easier to do a mild drop. But I have no room to talk because I go back and forth on my dually and my 59. I would rather have a lifted SRW and a lowred DRW. Hmmm. Maybe you need another truck? LOL. I know I do!

Re: lower or lift..
slam it! lowered dualies are sick!! if you lift it your might just end up using it for tough jobs and beating the crap out of it. i say bag it and drive it!

Re: lower or lift..
Lower 2wd
Lift 4wd Keep diesels out of the mud as they are heavyweights which spool up make cool noises then sink real fast =-p
