[updated:LAST EDITED ON May-27-06 AT 01:38 PM (CST)]i an looking to drop a 76 scottsdale 2wheel drive long bed. nothing radical 3-4" in the back.2-3" in the front.the front is easy -cutting the springs-problem i have is the rear springs are on top the axel.-can't block it- do they make a shackle kit to lower the rearend? or am i going to have to knock out some leafs? i use this truck to tow my bass boat. am guessing it to be 3/4 ton.. zooker
I'm not too big into lowering trucks, but from what I've read in these forums, you might be better off buying either a set of drop spindles and/or drop springs for the front. Cutting the front springs just doesnt seem like a good idea. For the rear you there are drop shackles, if you tow with it, this would probably be a better idea than removing leaves. If this is the truck you were asking about 5 lug rims for in your other thread, then it is a half ton. 3/4 tons are 8 lug.
ok thanks. never dropped a truck several cars.jacked up more than a few.. where could i get the drop shackle for the rear leaf springs?? any idea?? zooker
ive done lowering on these trucks before and the best ride would be to get spindles up front for a 2inch drop then 2inch drop springs, the rear is easy with a shackle kit theres many places to get them it should be around 4 or hundred for a good kit.
