Lowering the Rear

[audioguy]

Anyone know the status of a 2" (aprox) lowering kit for the Rear??

[SoCalBluetooth]

No. But I would be interested in such a kit.

Streetbeatcustoms has on but it is 395 plus shipping.

I thought that kit was a 2" front and 4" rear lowering kit...

I think he's just looking to lower the back only 2"...

I could be wrong though, but $400 for a rear kit to lower only 2" sounds really high...

I too would be interested in such a kit, after seeing some pictures, I'm not sure that I want to go 2 and 4, might just want to level her out...

Anyone notice the Titan settleing any after owning the truck 6 months or so? I've heard of domestics settleing some and wondered it the titan would...

Throw a few sandbags back there. Not pretty, but a cheap fix. Besides winter is coming on and those in snowy places might need the xtra weight.

I e-mailed Alex and asked if they would send just the back lowering kit and if so how much . He said yes 395+ shipping

Once the snow starts I'm definitely heading out for sandbags. Not only that, but they will help get stuck people out of the snow if you ever get caught w/o tow straps.

You guys know about shackles right?

See I figured I could be wrong...

I'm use to lowering these honda cars, $150 for a set of springs. When you said $395 for the rear only my mouth dropped...

Thanks for correcting me...

EDIT:

Clash, I'll speak up and say no, besides this is my first full size truck and I have no idea how to lower it. I'm sure I could figure it out with some help though as I've lowered lots of honda cars and nissan hardbody's...

My nissan hardbody was great, just bought some 2 inch blocks at autozone and turned down the front torsion bars...

I agree seems steep.....I would figure on 100-200 would be a good range....i am just looking to level the truck and dont want to jack up the front....any thoughts are greatly appreicated

[braun04]

I was told by someone on here that there is only about 1" to be lowerd from shackels.

[MTOOFAST]

I modified a set of belltech drop shackles from a F-150. I was only able to get about 1" lower or maybe a little more. The top of the shackle and the spring are really close to the bed. I really don't believe I could have lowered it any more with shackles. I'll try to get some pics soon.

I think that the rear kit from streetbeat is a new leaf spring set up. That is why it is so much. A flip kit is to low @ 5" and shackels @1". New leafs perfect.

[Blk808TitanSE]

I don't think anyone makes a flip kit do they? If so let me know

[Edit: For the Titan]

[rholland]

This is about what I want.
