I put a 2/4 drop on my truck, but the back didnt budge but about maybe an inch. Pretty much looks stock from the rear. What do you guys suggest I do? I was lookin into a 4/6, but I'm still kinda unclear whether or not I'd like it that low. Streets around my area suck. Should I try to put the stock parts on it and order a good quality 2/4 drop such as a hotchkis? Am I guaranteed that it will come down in back? I'm a bit stumped.

 

What parts did you use in the rear? When you put the shackles and hangers on did you tighten the **** out of the spring pin bolts? I learned the hard way to just snug them and not tighten the hell out of them. I dont mean to say bad things about Hotchkis but some said over time the rear leaves start sagging. I dont think Id like that. I rode in a guys truck with the Hotch setup and it just about rattled all my teeth out of my head. It was SOO rough! I scratched Hotchkis off my list!! Im gonna stick with the coil/shackle/hanger combo on my truck. Im not going to take it on a road course or try and take corners at 60. So I dont feel I need the Hotchkis springs. If you do a 4/6 expect to notch it.

I did hear some springs will lower close to advertised dimensions. Sometimes they drop more! And given time they will go settle some.

 

hey man i got the 2/4 and i wish i did the 4/6. but i wouldnt waste anymore money on another kit. your truck looks good.

 

Its 2" belltech shackles and 2" chassis tech hangars
My friend put the stuff on for me so I'm not sure what he did.
I may just end up taking the front springs off and I'm sure it will sit even then

 

I'm going to put in my vote for Hotchkis. My rear leafs haven't sagged aside from the normal set it period and my ride is a bit rougher but not harsh. If I had too, I would do Hotchkis all over again.

 

My votes for the Hotchkis 2/4 drop as well. I'm quite happy with the stance and level of my truck with this drop.

 

I know quite a bit of guys that have put the chassis tech hangers on and noticed nothing. Try the djm hanger or put a flip kit and combine it with airshocks so you can lift it a bit.

 

yo I8AHEMI I noticed you have a 3/5 drop, what did you use to get that stance and also do you have any pics of your truck thanks

 

if you want a cheaper alternative than hotchkis, may wanna look into belltech.

 

I have 3 inch belltech springs in the front and a flip kit in the rear with air shocks. I can lift it up about 2 inches
