To lower Or not to lower...?? Any one with lowered Harley 6.4's?

[maxforce007]

Hey guys I can't make up my mind whether or not to put 4800lbs coils and no blocks on my 6.4 Harley f350srw or just put 250 blocks in the rear and leave it alone? I want to run 33-33.5 size tires and them fill out my wheel well but I don't want to go up to a 35 cause it will slow me down a lot and hurt my mileage(even though I'm going to run a dura grappler).
Anyone got any pics of a Harley 6.4 lowered a little? Really would like to see what one looks like with factory Harley 20's.
Any out there?
Thanks

Do it. My truck is lowered 2" front and 3" in the rear with 33/13.5r18's and I love it.

I've been seriously debating this myself. Ive only got a XLT RCLB 350 with a front leveling kit... But something latley is drawing me to the lowered trucks. Nothing crazy, I've been just debating putting f250 blocks in rear and remove my front leveling kit and start with that...

I would do it, I ran mine lowered with 4400lb coil springs and stock height in the rear and it was nice, and its leveled now on 35's but for this summer i think i'm going to go back to stock height and 33" nitto terra grapplers better performance better ride and right in the middle between the nitto 420 and toyo open country.

Yeah I'm pretty well sold on it once the nice weather gets here. Its all pretty simple and quick no matter what the combo, its just a matter of pulling blocks/spacers and maybe coil swap. No major surgery and easy to reverse

35's won't hurt anything. Especially in a road tire like a dura grap.

Lowered on 4800lb springs and no block in the rear. Wheels are 20x10 with 305/50 nittos.

I love it! That's the same setup I'm going to have (well I'm going with 4400lb springs). Already have the springs. What's the length on the u bolts I'm going to need?

Eh I can't recall. You're definitely going to have to trim the bump stops with 4400 lb springs.

Yeah I'd read that somewhere before. If it's to much I'll buy some 4800lb to bring it back up a lil bit. Thanks anyway on the bolts. I think I saw somewhere that I'll need some about 2" shorter. I was just curious if you remembered so I could find out for sure.

The block on a 250 is around 2" so that probably isn't far off

Newbie here. My new truck has snow Plow Package & is up higher than I thought. I can buy the regular coils from my friend that got the snow plow front coils put on. I will retire this year & pull 12k 5th wheel. Rear has 4" blocks & don't think 2" put on will lower it enough for level 5th wheel pull. Someone mentioned no blocks in rear. I didn't know that was possible. I like using air bags in rear to adjust height on my '04 F250 with 2" blocks & Air bags. Is there anything special I have to do for no blocks on my '15 F350 ? Thankyou

Yup. 2" shorter will do.

Cool thanks!
