[Polaris7x]

Hey guys, im sure theres millions of posts on this but just wondering whats worked best for everyone here on lowering there trucks? Right now ive got mine leveled with ready lift kit and with my recent engine mods i need to drop the truck down a little bit. Summer rims and tires are 285 60 18s, and winters are 285 70 16s i believe? Any help in the right direction will be appriciated, I also dont wanna hack up my truck so please keep that in mind. Thanks alot guys:thumb:

How far of a drop do you want? Stock keys all the way down and a 3" shackle on the back make sit look pretty good.

yeah i was thinking like a 2/4, i need new shocks anyways so i was thinking of doing it all at the same time, and i thought about just going down with stock keys but didnt want the front end to wave going over bumps ya know so wasnt sure. I think this year well take out the leveling kit and drop the front end back to stock height and see how she does at the track for the first year.

Drop torsions all the way down, and either throw a 3" shackle on it and/or pull the overload if you have traction bars.

This is lowered all the way down with stock keys, overloads removed, and a 3" shackle. I have some long bars on it as I plan to run a DJM 3/5 kit in the near future.

I don't think it looks weird on 18's IMO.

Agree key down rides like shit

 

[hondarider552]

What shocks do you guys run?

I ran 3" drop keys all the way down and 2" drop spindles and it rode like a caddi..

you must not have any potholes on your roads, i have djm shocks and the bolts all the way up. my control arms are squeezing the bump stops at ride height
