lowered truck height

Im not sure Id have to go take a look, I thought with those overload springs being in there they would make it sit higher

Patiently awaiting Jeffs sick stance pictures :drool:

Mine is almost the same as Jeff's. Just a little lower. 5200 pound spring, no overload with 1.5" rear block. I think I'm going to cut a half a coil in front to drop it 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch. Its 78ish inches tall.

wow that looks extremly good, im leaning toward this look for myself

madman1234509 · Aug 5, 2012

That looks really good!!! Are those tires 305/50/R20? I really like the looks of them. Im sooo torn between the 305/50 nitto 420s or the 305/55 nitto terra grapplers if I do this. Also are your rims 20X9? Mine are 20X10, so im hoping they look ok being that wide with that narrow of a tire.

Thanks for the pics, 78 inches... Ill have to go mesure my garage door/ ceiling.... Again your truck looks amazing!!!

Mine are 305/50r20 and 20x10's. I was worried about the width too but it came out good to me. Thanks.

I haven't forgotten about you. I took some pictures this afternoon. They're not the greatest but you should get a decent idea from them. I'll post them once I get them uploaded to Photobucket.

Housing black, white-out reflector. I'm sure you'll get it right.

Definitely something I've considered. I may end up just doing the Harley light look.

madman1234509 · Aug 7, 2012

Harley lights would look sick on yours Jeff, esp to accent the black wheels, door handles, Windows, and other plastic bits on the truck. I'm like drooling over your guys trucks. I do like my Chrome but seeing these pictures makes me want to ptm my bumpers. I'm def lowering my truck after seeing these pictures. You guys have pulled it off for sure. Thanks again!!

Hey guys, if i remove my rear blocks, do my stock U bolts have enough thread? Looks very close so im Asking before i take it apart and have no u bolts lol

ingrahams · Jun 19, 2015

I had pmf bend some new u bolts for me when i ordered the bolt on traction bars.

madman1234509 · Jun 19, 2015

Many people don't like to reuse Ubolts. Go to a local spring shop they probably have what you need readily available

I ordered mine from Carquest. Grade 8 I think they were around 60 bucks total for all 4. Had them same day or first thing the next day.

Nick284 · Jun 19, 2015

Just called a place and they can bend them up gfor me. Just need to bring a set with me. If im stock up front, no rear blocks, wil it sit level? Or sag in the back? Should have measured but im at work and curious lol. Going from leveled 33" grapplers. To 420's and no block in the rear. Assuming it will be a little more friendly for my 467. Good look for the summer too!
