Scruffy49 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Most people just pull a small spring or two instead of a flip. You going for a low low or just a low? Don't know who's it is, but I wouldn't go any lower w/o airbags... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Babb Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 To just get it level, taking out one of the shorter leafs should help a lot. Start with the second to shortest one and see how it looks. If you want to swap the axle to the top of the spring, I'm not sure you could do that without notching the frame. I don't think you'd have enough clearance for travel without doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 as I recall an early chat the distance of travel of the axle to the stops when inverted is just 4 inches travel..other than that I have no trucks to reference..

Drifter99 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Not going low low just want to level it my 56 was raise and it bug me daily. It's going to be a daily driver with some loads put in it but not tons. I think taking two springs won't drop it enough but that will be my first effort..thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy49 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 The bottom 2 shorties will drop it 3 inches if the springs are tired and you stick with the stock rear axle assembly. Change the tubes and it will come down an inch or so. Just did one for a semi-close owner, who is not on the board. Ugly old school bus yellow 51.
