Ok I'm gettin tired of my truck looking like a 4x4 lol I just put my summer rims/tires back on and the wheel gap is irritating me alot now.

So..I would like a 2/3 drop, maybe 3/4 but I don't want to be smashing off the bumps stops. But I only have a couple hundred bucks to spend,

how should I do this? The cheaper the better but I don't want to cut my coils and I'd like to avoid blocks

u could so hangers and shackles for the rear, so u wouldint have to use blocks.
i have djm 5"hangers and shackles plus the 2" blocks

Will I bottom out in the front with those 3" coils? And do I need shackles and hangers? or one or the other?

and am I gonna have to get new shocks too?

i have some used 2" drop coils i could sell.
i've also hear of flipping the rear, rear hangers. dont know much about that tho.

hynge · 04-05-2008, 06:09 PM

o yea i forgot i did hit bump stops when i have 3" coils. so if u don't want to cut off or replace ur bump stops with smaller ones, then got with the 2" coils.

and u can buy one or the other. or both it depends how low u wana go

Since yours is an R/T, I would just go with 1" drop coils and 2" blocks. That's what I have on mine and I run 275/45x20 tires all around. I don't rub or hit the bump stops and the wheel wells look plenty full.

This summer with my new motor, I am gonna go 295/40x20 rear, so I can get better traction while keeping the same tire height..

You can keep your original shocks too.

..so for $200 bucks, that is about your best option.

if you do 1/2 it will look like mine and ray's truck. I replaced all of my bump stops with shorter ones. But if you drop the rear of an r/t 3 inches you will want a c-notch. I am running 275/40/20s out back and 275/35/20s up front. I think I am going to drop the front of mine another inch. I am planning to try out a set of 3" springtech coils since I can get them for $90 shipped www.suspensionmax.com . As for the rear I will have to wait until I c-notch it but i am going to do 2" drop hangers and a 1 inch block.
