Ok, I know this has been brought up be for, by JSmith, but I am going to ask again since I don't think it was ever figured out.

I am running 2/4 Hotchkis drop and want to lower the truck one more inch all the way around. The rear I guess I could get 1 inch lowering shackels and the front I am lost?! What should I do. I want to keep the Hotchkis drop on the truck since it handles so good, just want one more inch.

Who makes 1 inch drop shackels, anyway?

Also I should be alright with out a c-notch and 5 inch drop.

 

I have a set of 2" drop lower control arms for sale, they use whatever springs and keep the stock geometry by droppin the spring pocket lower, PM me.

 

That would be great, but I just want one more inch, not two.

 

Belltech shackles can either lower 1" or 2". I would suggest a cnotch, but it may not be entirely neccessary. For the front, I don't know how to get an additonal 1".

 

Ya, this front crap is killing me. I would really like to keep my Hotchkis coils too!

WOW! Those Belltech shackles are cheep too!

 

I don't know if anyone makes a 1" drop spindle or control arm, but that would be the only way it would be possible to keep the hotchkis coil.

 

Ya, that is what I am looking for.

 

belltech extended cab 3" coils in a reg cab truck, work out to be around 2.5 inches lowering, and are nice and stiff like the hotchkiss, and ride great. As for the rear, you're definatly goin got need the cnotch. sorry to break it to you. I"m at 5" now, and it's literally like 2.5 inches from the frame rail, you'll bang all the time. I c-notched mine.

 

Mine sometimes bangs and I am only 4 inches on the rear.. I would do a C notch.

 

The only thning I could tink of is to cut the springs. I don't think that is a good idea. I would recommend a c-notch.
