6/8 static lowering question's
« on: October 29, 2008, 09:27:57 pm »
Does anyone have any experience using 3" dropped spindles with 3" dropped coils on a stock crossmember truck. How much are you guys bottoming out with these. I know the control arms will hang pretty low just wondering how low they really will be. Ive run cars and bikes with 3"s of ground clearance at certain points without too much of a problem, but this is a truck. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

about half and half good/bad.. most of the bad stuff is avoidable though especially with a recreational truck

What site tires are you planning on running.  with 6/8 you are going to be on the edge of acceptible drivability.  You will have to slow WAY down for pot holes, speed bumps, etc with that kind of drop, other wise you risk impacting the lower control arm mount.

my tire height is only going to be about 27". so it sounds like raising the crossmember is the best bet or not going any lower than 5" in the front.
