On The Way Down

Update time!

Truck's still being worked on, but it just got 3" drop springs today, for a combined 3+3+1 currently. Different wheels are going on, and time is being taken to let the new 3" drop springs settle to see where the wheels sit. -3 degree camber for fun.

Teaser time



I apologize for the shitty cellphone pic, more from my SLR when I get home from vacation. (Yes I did suspension work on vacation. Helps to know people in other states )

This is basically what I started with. I had brand new stock length shocks in the front so I kept those, and went with Toxic drop shocks in the rear, DJM drop beams in the front for 3" and a 5" drop flip kit in the rear.



Had a pair of 3" drop springs custom made by Chassistech since they were discontinued for this truck.


The appeared huge compared to this, but did infact turn out to be shorter then stock.

THINGS ARE HAPPENING. OMG. Loud noises!





Making way for notches and other parts - oh and the fuel pump died, that kinda snagged my plans. Up next - wheels and tires.

Notched rear, waiting for rear blocks to come in. Wheels are still on backorder but she's settled a full 3" with the springs in the front. Eating my fenders daily lol. Front has to be notched for my tierods and beams, been bottoming them out like mad.

I still maintain no one has gone this low static on beams without converting to control arms.

Peep the camber in the pic. I love how she sits but the front is still goin down another 2.5"

Psh, I put in that camber myself lol. I had about -0.5 when it was done in the front, but I wanted more to clear my fender on the suspension stroke so I added -2 degrees. When it settled it was -3.
