There is a company here that can lower (dearch/reverse eyes) my front springs.
As my truck is in many pieces I cant really check but want to know if i get my front springs lowered by 3" am I going to run into problems. Is there room to get them lowered by that amount, will the bump stops be up against the frame??
Many of you im sure have probably done this so may seem a dumb question.
Any help appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,275 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,275 | I would not recommend making ANY lowering modifications to the stock front suspension. They can be wonky enough in their stock form. Lowering will alter steering geometry, and may lead to bump steer by changing the drag link orientation. If you are serious about lowering it and have it drivable and safe, you should consider going to an IFS.

I did my drop by getting the front axle bent. Not sure price to your neck of the woods. I have pictures in link below. FYI, i took a few leaves out also.
