I read somewhere that someone took their overloads off to drop the back down level. My question is...is this hard to do? Is it safe? And how much will it drop down? Also, will this mess up the pinion angle on the driveshaft to the point where i have to get it machined???? thanks for any info

I did it and it only lowers your truck as thick as the overload is approx 1/2 inch , as far as removal you must first hang the rear suspension then remove all four u bolts , let the lower plate hang where the shocks are bolted , remove center pin from spring ( you may want to clamp the spring pack together so they dont pop in your face and then reinstall centerbolt and u bolts .

what is the stock drop on the xtreme....

1.5 inches lower all the way around

would a 1in block work? as far as other modifications?

Seems like the overload would raise the back how ever thick it was. Seems like it kinda acts like a block.

if it was on the top of the leafs it would,but not where it is.

yes a 1" block would be best to use if your just trying to level it out. p/n bel-6000 at www.summitracing.com

yeah...thats what i'm tring to do. Would I have to do anything to the driveshaft? I know there's a certain point before you have to modify it.

no, shouldn't have any problems at all. once u get to 3" on a zq8 x-cab is when u may start having problems.
