The drop :{

white22L · Dec 4, 2004

After weeks of trying to get parts for a 3/3 drop I finally managed to get some and some wee donated to me by a friend.
Needless to say after doing it I realized i don't like the dropped look.

I mean I haev only had it dropped for about 4 or 5 hours.....
But I don't like it at all!

I should have just went with a leveled out look to it I guess?

Not to mention the fact that ride quality has dropped.
I have to remoev the bumpstops now, and may have other issues as well.

I feel like a fool. Should have just stuck with an 0/2

a 3/3 drop on a stock suspension shouldn't be to much. Once you remove the bumpstop brackets the ride should be about the same as the factory ride. I say take off the bumpstops, and ride around on it for about a week and decide

Removing the bumpstops takes a decent amount of time so I am gonna weait till at least next weekend. SO i have a week to look at it etc..

But i must admit the level look was good.

Its funny, everyone said at first there was no need to remove the bumpstops on a 3 inch rear drop. Will it really help

i dont see how, unless if u hit it several times then removin it might give leafs some more room to straighten up the leafs, other way of havin rear to do down a bit is no shocks and put weighs on it for a while, put some load on it and it wont go up easy, thus it'll flatten a bit, or remove the middle leaf spring which gives u 1.5 drop then yer front wud be higher than rear.

I think he was talking about liking the 0/2 drop(which would make his truck sit level) better than the 3/3:dunno: That's the way I took it when I read it anyways.

What drop components did you use? With just a 3" drop you shouldn't have to remove the whole bumpstop braket. You can get away with either trimming the bumpstop back or removing it and using a flat bumpstop in it's place. Depending on the components you used the ride should be pretty close to factory.
