i wanna lower my truck but i will soon be buying a 08 malibu vlx here the next couple of months. i was wondering what drop i can do, i wanna at least level it out in the back how would i do that? 2 inch shackels and remove the block? let me know thanks

 

you could go pretty low and still tow, just invest in some air helper bags and air them up when you tow.

 

i dont know about the 07's, but i lowered mine in the back 2'' with summit lowering shackles, for a leveled look. i dont know if it would effect towing tho?

 

if you leveled it and then towed it would sag pretty bad in the back without some airbags.

 

Lowering doesn't effect towing to much since tongue weight is not supposed to be over something like 500 pounds. Although I would still use helper airbags to keep the back up at its supposed to be, and get a raised ball to make sure the tongue is level.

I had a 4-6 drop on a 77 square body 2500 and had little problems becouse I had the bags and double checked everything before I started cutting.

 

get helper bags to tow lowered.
Mines not lowered and hauling my s10 blazer on a 16ft car trailer made it look like i lowered it.

 

I bought one of these and turned it upside down from shown. It levels my tent trailer perfect. Good luck!

 

lowering and towing is not an issue, pulling up a ramp may be if you are 2wd.

I have helper bags on a 3/6 drop and still make the occasional trips to the dump without issue. I think I have even hade more than the allotted 100lbs in the back since it was mostly tile, mortar and busted up cabinetry.

 

slam the truck buy an suv for towing!!! 5/7 no bags but before the c notch i towed everything i felt like and plenty of stuff i had no business trying to tow, bump stops are there for a reason. oh yeah every weekend all summer towing cars to the drag strip off the bumper. doesn't ride all that well but it works.
drink beer and forget that banging noise coming from under the bed.

or just invest in the bagsyeah it's sunday
