I know, buy a 2wd. Anyway have any of you heard of a drop yet for a reg cab short bed 1500 Z71. Bell tech and hotchkis don't offer one and won't according to their R&D departments. Hoping some of you may have heard of something. Do you think I can bag it?

 

just drop the rear, then take pictures of it launching and it will look like you're fixing to pop a wheelie..lol..
no idea.

 

Why bother on a Z71? Lift that thing to the sky!!!!

 

slam it to the ground, put 4.56 gears, put that sucker in 4lo, and smoke the crap outta all four...


that would be sweet

 

Want to lift but have ruled that out too because I have the off road ride control option and all the vendors tell me I can't lift it because of this option. I already installed shackles anyway and will be taking out the block or helper spring this week.

 

Scream,
I don't think you could ride in it with your medical condition "acrophobia"

 

The rear is the same as a 2wd except for the blocks that are under the leaf springs... so you can basically go as low as you want.
For the front, you can get different torsion bar keys which allow you to crank em down pretty far. It's only good for 3", but better than nothing.... Im doing this to my truck, i'll post up some pics soon.

 

So 01SS, are these the Ford Keys you are talking about. If so can someone give me a ford part #?

 

I was planning on doing 2" shackles and using the torsion bars up front as well. I see you said i will need a different key? or is that to just get more out of them?
I will be receiving my 20" Centerline Stingray III's in a few weeks and want to get the ride hight adjusted.

thanks
Larry

 

You will have rear driveshaft clearance problems, It is a Problem on the SS and it will be a problem on your truck as well. You are either gonna have to modify the crossmember or get a smaller diameter driveshaft made, if you look under your truck, you will see what i am talking about
