2014+ Lowering / Drop Kits

If might be easier to use the lift hanger. Getting the leaf bolt out of the drivers side, I'm almost positive you Ave to drop the fuel tank

Eh I think I won't mind so much once I cut the hangers out if I go that route. I work in a 3 person garage so we can kinda do whatever the heck we want. Just kinda hate hacking up something so new and shiny

She's now on a 4/7 drop with a 265/50/20

Will the BellTech 6400 shackle work on a 16 CC?

DirtyMarcus · January 1, 2017

Yes, shackles are pretty much universal.

Everyone has their own preference for parts but I prefer the Mc G shackles over the Belltech. Mc G actually gives you a 1 or 2 inch drop while the Belltech gives 3/4 or 2 inch drop. Just all depends on what you're going for.

So what shocks does everyone prefer? I only have the front lower 2" on spindles and the rear dropped 3" but feel I need better shocks.

Here's how the truck looks right now for reference. Love the look of the tires, but can't live with them rubbing as bad as they do.

where did u buy the side skirts and lower valance

Stock shocks are fine. Just trim the bump stop if it's to close

DirtyMarcus · January 2, 2017

No problems with stock shocks but I want something that will help reduce body roll and actually work correctly.

Nasty · January 2, 2017

He'll Hellwig rear sway bar. I don't think just a shock will help with body roll

Question for you guys. I was looking at Rough Countrys 2/4 drop kit & all you essentially do is relocate the struts to the under side of the control arms using the provided 1/4 plate. Can this be done without using the plate? I ask because Ive lowered the rear with 2" shackles & removed the blocks & want the front a lil lower now. This seems like a free way of doing so. Also, does anyone see any negatives fron relocating the struts like that? Seems like it would put a lot more stress having the struts mounted like that, thanks guys!

I wouldn't use that kit because it relocates the strut to the bottom of the lca. That can give you alignment issues

It can be done without the plate with no issues... I have a 4WD and DJM is the only company that claims that they have a kit that will work (2515-2/4). This may be true for some but it wasn't for my truck. I bought the kit and the control arms did not have clearance at all. After calling them, the said due to my truck having the cast aluminum spindle, I would need to shave the lip of the spindle and change the ball joints.... Needless to say, I packed it up and returned the kit.

I relocated the strut without the plate which gave me my 2" drop in the front along with shackles, shocks, and removing the block to lower the rear. I pick my truck up on Tuesday and I've already driven it 400+ miles with no issues and it still rides like stock.
