lowering kit

booster84 · Dec 18, 2013

Hi guys, looking to do the first major update to the titan. Previous owner raised the truck about 3 inches but I actually want to lower it about 2 or 3 all the way around from stock. Once I take the blocks and spacer out what would be the easiest /cheapest way to drop the truck? Springs for the front? shackles on the back or replace the whole leaf? Also I would like to not have to mess around with the bump stops or any other piece of the suspension. Main thing is to level it out nicely....

Please let know you guys thoughts....thanks

I wouldnt recommend dropping the front at all if youre not wanting to modify the bumpstops, Youll have very little travel.
The rear you can Remove a Leaf or Drop Shackles or Drop Leafs. Shouldnt have to cut the bumpstops

the front is stock. the wheels/tires just fill out the wheel wells a little better. to me the ride is better over stock. in my opinion the the was pretty stiff and pulling the leaf softened it up a little. it can get a little bouncy on the rough slow speed roads but its not to bad. the shocks are in need of replacing and i have some bilstien HDs sitting in my house just havent had time to put them on yet

Cut the coils and take out leafs. You'll be golden ponyboy.

And that was sarcasm, don't do that.

taking out a leaf is ok but cutting or heating coils is a horrible idea on a truck haha

Here's mine with the third leaf removed, stock up front. I was running 4600 HD's all around and the ride was surprisingly good. I did have some weird creaks going on and some clanking after rebounding from a stop. Honesty, I think it was from my traction bars. Anyway, I decided to go up and am very happy now.
