Default HD 4x4 lowering kits

I know there isnt many HD 4x4s lowered in here.
Can someone post some part #s to full drop kits that will work on my truck.
I'm not sure of how low yet, I was thinking of a 2/3-2/4 or 3/4-3/5.


Thanks

Mcgaughys makes a 2/4 and a 3/5 kit. The only difference is that the 3/5 comes with a t-bar key to lower the frant an additional 1-2" over the 2" spindle. I have DJM arms on my truck and have been very happy with them. I've got the 6" upper and lowers, but the 3" lowers would be all you need. I've heard that the McGaughys spindles cause a little loss of turning radius and this is what turned me off from them as well as the fact that I could not run my factory 16" wheels with the spindles, including the spare.

This is also a link to 4x4 HD that has the 6' arms set to about 4" of drop and about 5" out back. It's bada$$.

Big,
That HD is bad ***. Thats what I would like to do to mine. What did he do with the front drop? 6' arms? What did he use in the front?

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Your truck is looking pretty bad *** to, if I do say so myself.

It's a little vague, but I believe Fesler used the 6" DJM arms and simply cranked up the t-bars a bit. Very similar to someone cranking the bars to level out a stock truck. Here's a little more info on it, and it also shows some featured articles that it's been in. It's a bad ****.
