2x4 drop kit, who makes them?

[RPM Motorsports]

Who has them? I've found a DJM 6" A-arm drop, but thats it! I need to stay with a 16" rim also.

Anybody have a (front) frame to ground measurement, just behind the front tire, for a 2x4 EC? The truck didn't have a motor in it when I got it. I would like to have a baseline measurment, to see if the 6" will be too much. Thanks!

Have you looked into mcgaughy's ? I dont know what wheelsize is required for a spindle drop though ?

Yeah I looked at them. They need a 17" rim min., and the hub to knuckle is only a three bolt on the back side. It sucks because they are only 45min. from my house!

Russ I will check this afternoon on the truck I pm u about. We just let the torsion bars all the way down. We also would like to drop it

Cool, thanks for taking the time to get the measurement!

Russ it's 10 1/2 inches from the bottom of the frame to the ground with the t bars all the way down. That's right behind the front tire where the frame drops down

Perfect! The 6" A-arm drop will give me the 4" I need/want... Thanks again!

just for ref. if you used mcgaughy's spindles they do not work w/ all 17's i had to cut lower ball joint stud off flush w/nut and take some off the nut as well as having to do 1/4 inch spacer

How did you get them to work at all? The hub to knuckle on them is only a three bolt (1500), our hub to knuckle is a four bolt square pattern.

 

[rmallen30]

nope it is 4 i think part number is 2500ds if i am reading the box right

 

[RPM Motorsports]

Cool, all the info/pic's I saw were the three bolt patern. I'll give them a ring when they re-open on the 4th, to see if they have anything that will work with 16's.

 

[rmallen30]

nothing for the 16's other than keys or the djm kit for the 16's to work

Thanks guy's, looks like im going the DJM route. It would look funny with 17's in the front, 16's in the rear!

How much will the keys lower?

Im converting to coilover suspension, so the bars are getting ditched!

 

[wikdlmm]

Ya russ I was just wondering how much they lower?

 

[RPM Motorsports]

Are you talking stock keys or changing to drop key's?

 

[wikdlmm]
