Looks nice, very tasteful, except the headlights... A set of 05+ lights would look sweet on it! :-X06
+ Taillights = No thanks I just bought it as is. Changes in the planning. I like the stance though & the SC don't hurt. |

I wonder how the previous owner lowered the front end? I hope you got a good deal on that ride, you may have purchased yourself a money pit. |
Yeah, I noticed his nuts too.
Ummm, that could have been worded better. |
Easiest way to lower the back would be to remove the blocks.
Is it a 4x2 or a 4x4 truck? To me, lowered trucks seem more practical than most lifted trucks (easier to put a load in/out of the bed, can get in more car parks etc.). |
I like the stance of your truck undrtw. My truck is a 01 F250 Crew Cab 2wd. Have a set of 22x9.5 ordered with a 5.93 BS and a set of 305/45/22 to go with them. The back needs about 4 inches to come down to be level with the front. It does have a block between the spring and the axle from memory. Truck is at a body shop having some paint work done so I don't know how large the block is. Any body know how much it will drop pulling the block?
|
The F250 block is about 2.5" I believe. But I'm not so sure you can just remove that block and go. They have various tapers to adjust driveline/diff angles. I'm thinking you are going to need some kind of tapered shim. Just a guess on my part.
|
On a 250 with the stock block it will drop it 2" or so.
On edit: Got beaten :) Bill is right it may affect your driveline angle and cause vibration on accel with an excessive U-Joint angle if its a 2 piece shaft (being a crew cab it will be a 2 piece) If your carrier bearing has shims, you can remove them to fix. |

Just throwing it out there about the block. DJM makes a shackle that is cheap. Just didn't know how everybody else was doing them.

Lol, no I meant that I noticed some of his nuts were missing in the two pics too.

And due to your initial request not to bash, that's all I'll say about that! :-X22 |
I understand everybody's point that's why I said the "no bashing", to each there own and blah blah, but I could make the same argument about people lifting there trucks up (which I have done) and so on. Just looking for info. I don't pull horses or work construction, the heaviest thing I pull is a Jeep crawler/trail rig. Thanks for eveybody's responses and if any one else has any more insight on my questioning or links to they would greatly be appreciated.

Gross I can just imagine the ride quality! Oh well everybody has their own ideas of whats cool and what is not. After all thats what makes America great right!

I hope you got a good deal on that ride, you may have purchased yourself a money pit. It's an f350, not sure about shims, shackles or the front. It was a fair price. The Magna Charger, Wheels, & Sound system cost the previous owner close to what I paid for the truck. It runs like a bat out of hell with no mechanical issues... yet. Haters be patient. I'm looking at lifting it after I unload my Jeep and kill these tires. curtis |
