looking to drop
« on: March 29, 2009, 07:25:04 pm »
i cant seem to find my answer even know im sure its been answered 20 times im sorry. ive used beltech before and had good luck so i was thinking to use them again. so i was looking at this drop kithttp://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=BEL-3100 and
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=BEL-6605. then i was gonna make a set of rear shackles to raise it up one inch so it was a 3/5 drop any reason then wont be good for a daily driver and some times to pull a 20ft haulmark enclosed trailer.

You would have to make Shorter shackles to make it go up, and they are pretty short stock.  wny not just get a shackle hanger kit. or just put a air kit on the back for loads.

New leaves will help with that and just use the factory shackles.
