lowered truck pics
- Thread starter maine dmax
- Start date
I don't rub at all, that was barely trimmed for my lift/tires to clear, I trimmed 1" at the very bottom to the corner of the chrome piece, that's all that's trimmed
Got the 3M tape and badge off and took the steps off!! Still dirty but it's going to rain all next week:/
Thanks, I think so to, I haven't seen many trucks with them, but the one truck I saw and I don't know if he's on here (Kyle Rasmussen) looks awesome, it's silver birch and looks good, they almost match my truck. I've had black and black/machined and thought it was time for a little change.
That's just a 3" shackle and overloads removed? What about in the front? Torsion bar bolts removed?
It looks great.
Thanks! yep just 3" shackles with OLs removed..I did put 4* shims in while I had the leafs up..torsion bolts are turned down about 1/4" lower than rear, I couldn't go all the way out because it "floated" around too bad so I raised it back up a little..
I had to put mine back to 2" in the rear and my front is still too high. Need to do lowering keys I guess.
My overloads are gone and I have 3" shackles in the 2" hole. The front is close but still a tad high. Here's a before/after.
On a side note, it rides better than it has in a long time. :thumb:

Really contemplating lowering with different wheels. I dont tow heavy oftern and no more than a car and an aluminum fishing boat. The thing is I know nothing about lowering. I have cut coil springs on a extreme once but these are a different breed to me.
Whatever you do, don't cut your torsion bars:roflmao: Seriously, how low do you want to go? Once you decide, it's easy to answer your question with some options.
This is a picture i robbed from duramaxgirl but i love the look just want the back a little higher than this.
Do 3" drop shackles and remove the overload in the rear. You can do 3" drop lower control arms in the front and if you want more later on, add some drop spindles as well.
This is more like what im considering. Found it on google found out its Brians truck lol
Maybe he will chime in and let me know what he did to get this stance. It looks so good like this.

I just leveled the truck with 2" keys and blocks too lol. Im worse than a woman. Why do people use stock keys and remove bolts? Doesnt this make for a bouncy ride?
The torsion bar key either sits on the bolt or sits all the way down on the threaded block where the bolt goes so either way its sitting on a fixed surface.
