Hi every one!

I just picked up a 04 rcsb with a lq4 swap the truck is lowered already 2" springs in the front, the rear he said he installed lower leaf springs then installed shackles to level the truck out right now i have about 2 inches of clearance be tween the axle and frame (no c notch rides like $!#+) with that little of space between the frame and axle how much of a drop is it 4? 5? 6? inch?



I want a 4/6 drop I know i can install spindles up front for the total of 4"

whats my options in the rear to get another inch or two in the rear? (hoping I dont have to go back to stock with a flip)

with a 4/6 drop with size 22" tires can i run and not have a problem with the fenders or tires hitting or rubbing? (if that can be done?) or should 20" rims be used?

this is the new daily driver project!

the tires are 18's (29" tall) I have 2 3/4" in the front and 2 1/2 in the back space between the tires and fenders

 

I have 30.5 tires with a 3" drop and they fit in there perfect, 29" will work with a 4" if your rim offset is ok

 

the offset on the current rims in the pic wont work i dont know the offset but they stick out a hair

 

You can get a flip kit putting your axel over your leaf spring

 

if it was stock height that would of worked but its already lowered so thats not going to work for me it will be to much of a drop

 

find you some original shackles and put on it then do a flip kit, thats what i would do.

 

yeah i was hoping for another way since i really only want a inch or two more of a drop in the rear

 

My tires are just over 30in tall and I scrub every once ina while, its not too bad. I have a 4/6 drop and I am running factory 20s.

 

I picked up a set of OEM 20's going to try and run a 29 or 30" tire

what shocks are you using in the the rear? I need to replace the two backs ones blown and then other is not the best either

 

My tires are 275/45/20.

Ive got the DJM shocks that came with the kit. The only time they ride good is when there is a load in the bed. They are stiffer than they need to be, IMO.

On my old Colorado, truck I had Belltech Street Performance on the rear and they rode great. I know different truck, but if they ride half as good on that truck as they do on this one Ill be happy.

Currently I am looking at shocks for the rear. Ive narrowed it down to a set of Bilsteins or Belltechs.
