Wellllll.....







Yes they are dodges sorry but I didn't want to dig through all my pics.

 

I appreciate it man!!! Yeah, I actually got two of em in there. The one you can see is my first car, its a 66 with an inline six, TE44 turbocharger, front mount intercooler, T5 5 speed and a few other goodies. Its just a cruiser for now but itll turn heads. The other is a 90 coupe fixin to get a built/stroked 351. Ill check out the thread you posted!

Those loweres duallys are sick!!! If it aint 4x4 why not give it a mean stance!

Whoa, I'm gonna stop talking now. I still think it looks wierd though

 

Oh man... i laughed so hard at this...

My truck is a Bronco, but i guess it fits here also, i'll get some good pics to show:









It has some other accesories now, i'll upload a more recent pic later.

 

Well they rarely drive that low, unless I guess they're on the highway - kinda hard to turn when your tires are shoved way up in the wheelwells. But dynamically lowering a dually could be very useful as far as aerodynamics and stability go, like for instance the yeehaw plate under my front bumper is literally inches off the ground and it very seldom catches anything, this means my whole truck can go down several inches without any ill effects while on paved roads. There was this guy I used to know who 4-linked an older F-Superduty (the 10-lug-wheeled model), he'd drop it almost all the way to the bump stops when he's flying low on the interstate and the thing would be stupid stable (links dimensioned so caster goes up as the truck goes down), but when he hit the off-ramp and slowed down he'd lift it all the way up and get all the ground clearance one would want from a 2wd truck and then some - worked pretty darn good actually, he even had plans on making the system automatic with speed (the faster you go, the lower the truck, and the other way around), but I'm not sure what happened with that project...

 

I am wanting to lower my 89 just a couple inches all the way around. I don't want to get too crazy but just give it a good stance. I havn't seen any trucks like mine with this. Any suggestions?

 

The "proper" way of lowering the front of TIB trucks like yours and mine is by using the Dream Beams by DJM:
DJM Dream Beams

For the rear you should be able to use longer shackle and possibly move the spring's front hanger up on the frame as well, but if you plan on towing with the truck do not even think of removing leafs from the spring packs!

 

LCAM-01XA, thanks for the info. I found what I was looking for. I will post some before and after pics when done!

 

If they do change the height while pulling a trailer, then that would case the trailer to become un level. Not ideal.

 

At a all ford show "MOCA" in austin last week !

For front you can go with 1" or 2" drop springs or for 3" drop DJM dream beams(best way) Then for the rear you can get 2" drop shackles, remove some leaf springs, 4" shackle and hanger kit, or 5" flip kit.

There are a few dropped 90s F150s on here. I did my 86 with DJM 3/5 and I loved it. Cant wait to do my Lightning.

 

I used the 2 in drop springs in the front & 4 in drop shackle & hanger kit in the rear , i would not recomend removing any leafs , it will lower the truck good but it changes the spring rate to much , i tried it & ended up bending the springs from spring rap...Lew

 

Thought I'd post these. This was a couple weeks ago. I jacked up the front to get into the wheel wells when I was washing it. Then lowered it to close to level to get an idea of what leveling springs would look like.
