Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
If you got the 2" drop spindles for the front from beltech that are for the zq8 suspension then you will drop 2" in the front... and if you are throwing on 3" blocks in the rear then you will be lowered 3"

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
What he said ^^^ and do you have spindles or coils sitting in your room?
spindles = 2" drop coils= .5" drop 3" blocks = 3" drop Last edited by HAWK : 01-03-2005 at 05:19 PM. |

go to firestone tire. they'll do it...
and those shops must be fockin gay i never found one that turned me away they went through the trouble of putting down a 2x4 if needed for clearance.. pull out the phone book and find a firestone tire... they did mine no problem |

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
do you mean trim the fenderwells? i dont think that will be your problem really. it will be rubbing on turns at a full lock is what will get ya. you probly wont be able to full lock your wheel anymore. in the rear you shouldnt have to do anything. im bagged and dont even have my fenders cut up in the rear
with that size tire they should tuck pretty well inside right? |

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
only way i can think to improve it is running the right size wheel... having a perfect offset and backspacing will help maximize that. Last edited by HAWK : 02-16-2005 at 10:17 PM. |

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
the 2/3 drop that i have is 2" coils and 3" blocks...if the coils only lower my front .5..the back will be lowered 3"?? i dont mind the front being only lowered .5 because i only want to drop the front a little bit..but the back that low with the front not so low..wouldnt that look kinda stupid?? what should i use for the rear if i lower the front with the coils because i already have 1" blocks in the rear and my truck sits level

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
yea u are correct... using a coil will only lower your xtreme another .5" because u have 1.5" lowering coils on it already.... the rear WILL lower a full 3" if u put blocks on it.
i think if u r only going to lower it .5 in the front then only lower it 2" in the rear. that will give the right look to it u know? if u want to lower the front a full 2"...... then use spindles instead of coils if u do the 2" spindle drop. then id definitly go 3" block in the rear make sure u have the right blocks flat if single cab angled if extended cab |

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
i believe the pinion angle will be thrown off a bit..
u can look under your truck and notice easily... if theyre flat or angled |

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
Here is mine....I put 2" spindles in the front but I completely redid the rear. I have 3" belltech leafs and 2" blocks. Still a total of 5" in the back. So I am 3.5" front and 5" rear drop.

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
Your pinion angle shouldn't have changed. I have not had a single problem with mine since I did the drop. Very odd that you are having vibrations. I bet it has nothing to do with the drop and something else is going wrong in your truck.

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
is it necessary to trim the fender flares back at at all when doing this drop? it looks like the tire may contact the flare after the drop, im running stock x wheels with 235/55 tires

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
trim the flares, meh not needed, i mean you can or you can let the tire take care of it for you =)
if you are worried about the tire rub then go ahead and trim away, but yeah tire will rub on the flares, get a nice smell from parallel parking a few times, heh. or if yer not worried then go ahead and let the rubber do the work for ya |

Re: All of your 2/3 drop info here!
when i had the 235/55s on it rubbed at first around full lock on the flares. After making a sharp turn I could get out of the truck and pull rubber off of the inside of the flare. Itll eventually wear it down so that it doesnt rub anymore. I wouldnt worry about trimming it.

Well I am running 18's with my drop and it doesn't rub at all. You shouldn't need to trim them at all.
