Lowering an OBS

superdutyman97 · Feb 11, 2012

I'm thinkin bout putting a small drop on my 250, or maybe just leveling it out by dropping the rear. Anybody got any suggestions? It's a 2wd and I generally tow light, so I think it'll be ok for what I do.

Djm suspension makes a 3/3 drop kit for it.

If you do decide to drop the front use spindles, not just springs it will keep the truck from having that lame ricer camber up front

Pretty sure the djm kit comes with ibeams and hangers

:fustrate: Already dealing with it. Went to a buddy that's into mini trucks and imports, and just had to walk away. i can't convince him that i still need to be able use the truck and not have it "layin rail". Hard to haul if the hitch is on the ground lol. Aprreciate everybodys input, I'm thinking about just trying to drop the rear for a nice level stance. I want it to be unique, but servicable.

I leveled my 2wd up front and used a drop shackle on the rear

I just bought a set of 265/70/16s off a buddy for 80 bucks, they're a little over half tread but they're kinda light duty. I'm just wanting to set it down a little and accept the fact that it is 2wd lol. You guys think it would look good just leveled on something this size?

You couldn't make that thing look good with all the time and money in the world with someone with a head like yours drivin it. Haha

Ive seen leveled 4x4 OBS's and they look like you didnt even do anything to them...dont know how a 2wd would take a leveling kit though....might be your best bet.
