so I want to lower the ass end..

[Nic]

Would it be better to drop the rear blocks out and get new u-bts or get the 1" or 2" optioned shackle drop kit off ebay..I plan on traction bars later too or cal tracs..

 

[Agjake11]

or a 1" block and stock u-bolts. thats the setup im running

 

[Nic]

Is it dead level?

 

[Agjake11]

almost. and yea 250.

there is a slope to the 2nd pic towards the front of the truck

 

[Nic]

Almost there..thanks for the pic. I'm probably gonna go 2" still just a bit high. Good lookin rig man. Almost looks like mine! Like those rims

 

[Nic]

thanks man. if you remove it all together id get new shorter ubolts or if you dont plan on going back up then you can cut the stockers so you can still use a deep socket.

 

[Nic]

Very true thanks for the help :thumbup:

i know on mine, when i removed the rear block there was not enough thread on the factory u-bolts. Nothing some washers didnt take care of... LOL

 

[Nic]

^^ LOL what I didn't want to do...was looking for u-bolts at the auto parts stores but can't seem to find any...that black truck is siicckkkkkk!

 

[Agjake11]

call PTP. they should be able to get you set up with a set of them

I took out the stock blocks and installed 1 1/2" blocks.

I had to keep the bags in the front end because with 325's they were rubbin hard on sharp turns...even after I cut the corners off the air dam.

But I really like the way they look lowered...

How much do you tow? its a little more work, but removing a leaf can result in that much drop and better ride but sacrificing some towing.

Don't tow much at all. I think I'm gonna go the easy route..just thought about it..gonna rent a tap and die set and thread my stock u-bolts down to where I need them. What do you guys think..I could rent that kit, die it down and return it and it won't cost me a dime. Sounds good to me?

Sounds good in theory. might be hard to find a die that size and not sure how hard it will be to cut the threads. But sounds like a good plan if you have access to the tools.

Edit: and I don't know about that being the easy way, but is cheaper than buying some.

its not going to be fun to try and thread the stock u bolt. id buy a set.

Buy new u-bolts at your local spring shop, mine were $36 built to length with nuts. Have fun threading your stock ones.
