Sweet ride

I see 2 5/8 height change. Anyway, ignore my stupid comments. Very nice, what did you use? EE kit or universal lowering blocks?

 

[aldive]

Tell us how you droped it, please.

 

[Black Magic]

Just Torsion Bar Twist up front, shackles in rear. I will hopefully be getting some Billsteins too. I already have Saleen Anti-Sway in front and rear with 1.5" block in rear.

Oh the two pics is the before of the passenger side and the after of the drivers side. I was going for WOW effect.

Thanks for the great complements!

What did you do about an alignment?

 

[Black Magic]

When I get new wheels I will get an allignment. My brother has a shop and I just called him to meet me down there and set it up true.

Good question, most people don't think about that.

 

[aldive]

When you dropped the truck, did you install camber adjusters?

 

[Black Magic]

No, just the torsion twist up front.

 

[RoadEnforcer]

arent you a 4wd? Doesnt anything lower then 2 hurt it? Did you follow the going for the gusto thread?

 

[Black Magic]

No I just lowered the front with the torsion bolts. Really the front only droped about 2.5" each side.

 

[Black Magic]

Well after a whole night of cruzin' and riding arround. I guess the truck might have settled more. So I will get out there with the tape and see where we set. I'll be back...

Looks good, it'll look even better with the '20 Rozzi's.

 

[Black Magic]

I posted some more pictures and look at the difference.

Have any problems getting those u-bolts on? I just bought the same ones.

BTW, who's the little feller that's helping you in the first few pics?

 

[Black Magic]

The U bolts did need to be taped on and then squeezed a little. Other than that they are good.
That I my little man, Tyler. He is my 4 year old helper. Really he can be a better assistant than a lot of my other friends.

will bilsteins work with ur lowered x? i thoguth bilstein only made shocks for stock height x's.

 

[Black Magic]

I think I have see 2" drop shocks before. Would it be a bad idea to get factory spec shocks incase I ever want to lift it back to stock height?

 

[Hartman]

Black Magic, you said you haven't gotten an alignment yet, is driving your truck a big task or is it just slightly out?

 

[jssong]

blackmagic... you;ve seen 2 in drop shocks from bilstein? ive only seen their regular shocks which supposedly have a much better ride then stock... but nothing about bilsteins for lowered... can u give me some more info please?
